1) Vettes are everywhere... everywhere.

3) All out, the car is fun... just driving around at 5/10, the car is zero fun.
4) The auto transmission should not be within a mile of this car... it sucks ass.
5) The interior is not a good place to be... its better than before, but you dont want to be there too long, and yet its a 100K car.
6) its a large car with a long hood, it makes the car feel like a truck.
7) go to a car meet, and look at the crowd driving Vettes, it is always the same
8) Z06 resale values took a massive shit after the limp issues and factory discounts

I've owned countless BMWs including but not limited to an e36 M3, e46 M3, and two e92 M3s. I driven most everything they've made over the last 20 years... including the latest M3, M4, M5, M6, X5M, X6M etc etc etc.
I currently own a Z06.
By the numbers, I'm a BMW fanboy.
The Z06 is fun as nuts at 5/10ths. It's fun as nuts anywhere. The only downside on the street is the gearing is tall, so you don't get to do many red line shits (if you like having a license). On the other hand, it makes 480 ft-lbs at idle and the torque peak is just over 3k, so you don't have to rev it out to have a shit ton of fun.
On the track, the only car I've had as much fun in as my Z06 is an s2000.
Brand hate is a bit tired.
