Default E46 M3 or C5 Z06

My price range is $30,000 or less. I've been researching and I've found M3's with a few mods for that price. What i found strange though is that in the same price range, I can get a supercharged Z06. Which car do you all recommend?

Personally, I'd never buy a car with a modified motor. Well, depending on the car and how much a replacement motor(see - not a m3 nor a z06)

I'd rather have the E46 M3. Why? BMW. Much nicer interior.

Only downside is it's expensive to maintain(when compared to my acura).

Yes I'm biased.

e46 M3 is the only M3 I don't lilke.

What do you want to do with the car? I voted other, but before I say what other is I wonder what your plans are. Any track days? Autocross?

It will be a daily driver that I can take to the track (road coarse) and not have others running away from me.

Depends on what you want to do with the car... I suggest you buy my targa Z06 or my father's Z16 Z06

e46 m3 if you don't mind having a slow car.. it's nicer than the vette.. but the vette will probably out run it.. and it's cheap to make the vette faster.

2002-2004 Porsche 911. Real men race cars in which you have to carry your speed. Real men race with the engine behind them.
