Good call or bad call: “I traded this for that” (7 Photos)

"I traded my '07 C6 Vette (with a few bolt on mods) for this '07 BMW M6. Thought I might see how many people would have done the same. Got a HELL of a deal on the Beamer." Well let's see what people think.

what a silly question…you're asking if you made a smart decision on trading an american can to a german car??? no contest….

Tyler

bmw's head of design and engineering are both american……just sayin…..

Hypno germ

Oh snap!

good trade, and since you now own one, you should know that you have a bimmer. a beamer is a motorcycle.

Well it all depends… do you like to turn a corner while going fast?? if yes… then good trade… if you live where there are no corners… then maybe not

EXACTLY. If you wanna be Ricky Bobby and just 'go fast' in a straight line (or maybe also turning a long 2-3 mile looping left), then buy american. If you want the the best of all performance aspects, buy foreign.

This is the stupidest thing I've read on this site… and that's saying something. You actually think an 3900 lbs M6 with a 54/46 weight ratio is going to out handle a 3200 lbs Corvette with a 51/49 weight ratio? Physics is fun kids.

Jimmy

someone who actually knows something. I'm shocked!! a c6 corvette pull lateral 1g+ on accelerating skid pads where the 07 m6 does like 0.8g+. The c6 was made for handling.

Jimmy

and btw the m6 is about 4400lbs.

Good trade, I might disagree if it was a ZR1 vette. But its a standard automatic corvette…

Very good deal. Enjoy the M6, I love my 2010 M5!!!
Larry

Wouldn't have done it. I have a C5 and the only thing I would trade it for is a C6.

Dear lord, people, when Chevrolet for once make an awesome driver's car and BMW fluffs it with inferior brakes and a generally overweight, you guys side with someone switching from the 'Vette to the Beemer? You amaze me.

Get ready for 10 MPG…. Sold my M5 within months of purchase and got an E63. That V10, loves to suck gas even under normal driving. With gas going to $5/gallon it will cost you $100 for a tankful and that will take you about 180 miles. Looks great but dated…
Jimmy

well in sheet comparisons, it was a helluva trade for ya…a ~$50k car for a ~$110k car. I want to know who was the dumbass who traded you for it. I have a $35k Evo with some mods im willing to trade for a $92k GT-R if he's up for it.

naa – i like the vette better
