They do give more bang for buck but don't match the build quality of imports (I'm talking europe more than japan). Also one other thing I don't like about HSV/FPV is that they use such huge engine capacities without alot of power. 6L V8 for same power as 4L V8 from bmw/audi. That said, the latest stuff HSV has been putting out it much better than in the past.
Most euro drivers realize, careful where you tread when talking about engines with GM
That 6L V8 has so much flexibility it's not funny.
The LS7 is also one of the lightest engines today.
All M3s have been inline 6s till the new V8.
The last turboed/sced RS4 was the B5 in 2001~
That why i said, I would take a C6 Z06 over an M3 (probably even a E92, we havnt seen what it can do yet and its potential).
B7 RS4s arn't that great compared to M3s. I even like the B5 RS4 better.
Not to mention quite a few ppl in the states slapping LSx engines in BMWs and whatnot...
There have been a ridiculous amount of converts in USA from Euro hardcores to C6 drivers. It's just an extremely great package for the money.
