Ya i think a Vishnu tuned 335i would keep up with a stock vette if you said its only pushing 350whp thats around what the vishnu 335i has, The new tune they got gives the 335i 380wtq with just a tune and exhaust, i think the only edge the vette would have over the 335i would be the weight difference. Vishnu tuned 335i'z are suppose to run about 12.6 1/4 with good traction.
Waiting for this thing is such a *****, i called bmw today and they told me first or second week of april is when i should be expecting it

Not allways true, the younger chikcs (18-23) know the Evo. I had one liitle hottie scream out her window "OMG I love your Evo". I give it to the Electric Blue Pearl...its a sick lookin color! Had 2 C4 vettes before the evo and drove my dads C5 all the time. I do like my Evo better than the older vettes but my buddys Black C6 looks like the fuggin' batmobile! I got a kid now so I had to have a car seat in my new car! LOL

Great review, the C6 is a very nice car and worth the money. I also like your take on the EVO being the new bang for buck performance car, I agree with you, although I think your big brother (C6 Z06) although more expensive, might have something say about that. Nice upgrade, a C6 Vette is a very nice car, but I would never buy a Vette as my daily driver. Nothing against Vettes, but I need to sit 4 or 5 adults.

.. but if they were the same price you would be in the c6. The fact the evo can complete with a 50K car is impressive! go 
. Most of the vetteforum guys have no idea about what these cars can do.. luckily there are plenty of former wrx/evo owners to inform them. Alot of members have moved over from f bodies and are still clueless.

The Vette offers so much more. I love the comparison's on here "oh well if I modded my Evo I would run the same as a stock C6" OOOOOOOOOO wow so If you modded your car, you could beat a stock car! Way to go champ. Remind me to call the Guiness book of world records because Im sure thats a first. lol
Mods for Vettes are cheap as hell, and LS motors make tons of power, and most of the parts come straight from GM. You cant beat that. If Mitsu did that they would still void your warranty.

Once you hit $70,000 I'd rather be in an RS4, an M5, etc.
But then again, a lot of us would still want to be in an Evo. That's my situation at least.
... all the girls want guys in trucks!!!

I think that image hurts the car personally. Of course, the Evo has the young foreign racing image to it; so nothing's perfect.
You can get into a C6 for < $40k. I was offered a new 2006 awhile back and was tempted. So, we're only talking roughly $10k difference. But put that $10k into the Evo and things are not equal at all! I personally thought the Vette rode terrible - and I drive an Evo!
