Default 06 New Corvette vs 04-05 M vs 04- 05 Z06 Which one?

I'm selling my Sti at the moment and need opinions.
Which one would you pick? There are all around $45,000. A brand new 06 Vette, not the Z06, just the regular vette or a used 2004-2005 BMW M3 or a used 2004-2005 Z06. Tell me what you think. I need lots of opinions. I dont know what to do. My number one choice at the moment is the M3.

i`d take the the new vette, a used z06 probably got the s*** beat out it a lot ,and the same goes for the m3 ,i`d stay away from the m3 specially .they are nice but in my book it`s just a name

We need more information. The decision all depends on your age, marital status, and obesity level.

The C5 Z06 has a much more aggressive brake and suspension package than the base C6, even with the Z51 suspension package. I vote 02-04 Z06. There is no 2005 Z06, and the 02, 03, and 04 models are all the same.

What about a new 335i?

I would get the M3 (married working on kids) but be very tempted by the Z06.

The Z06 is the obvious answer but truth be told I'd probably go for the more subtle M3.
As noted by another prior, it's fast & quick enough with STi performance levels.

The "base model" Corvette is still a pretty astounding car. Only the most die-hard racers or racer wannabe's truly need a Z06. You'll never take advantage of what it has to offer over the regular model on public roads.

New Vette all the way.

New Vette. Easy.

Everyone has an M3. And the used z06 is going to have been ridden hard and put away wet.

Base Vettes are for old men with gold chains and moneyclips.

If you get a C6, at least get the Z51 package, and lay off the chrome. Both modern versions of the Z06 are sex on wheels.
