My father is really good friends with the professional race car driver Tony Kanaan (formula 1) and we have been to his test track and i had him do a 0-60 in my bmw and with a professional timing system we got it at 4.1

Next time you see Tony...tell him that he races in CART...not Formula 1.

For that price range the true sports cars would be a Z06, Cayman S, and maybe even a Lotus. If I were tracking the Car there would be no replacement for the Z06, but for pure enjoyment id go Cayman. I guess it just depends on one's priorities.

Check the thread subject.

Don't want to talk about BMWs? Don't come in a thread with a subject that includes BMW.

Don't like it that the Camaro can't outrun every expensive car on the planet? Too bad; get a grip on reality.

If the M3 E46 did it in 8:22, and the camaro in 8:20 then yeah, it will beat it.
