Exclamation Stingray Destroys M Toys

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Revenge is wonderful: while driving my M235 last Friday an M4 showed up and took off at FT next to me. I did not want to follow.

Saturday the same AH in his white M4 shows up while I am driving my Stingray. I destroyed his ego so bad that surely he will never play again with a big bore V8.....

Good for you. A stingray still looks like crap IMHO.

'14. With only one minor and insignificant mod.

Was fun to take on that M. In retrospect I should have done it with the M235; Probably at minimum kept up with that M4 considering how the vette outpaced it!

Not a fan of American stuff but Stingray is legit IMHO. I think it looks great in stock trim. Unfortunately so many of them have Chrome Wheels and other silly things like that that many look ugly.

Personally, I can find only one fault with the Stingray...it's the boy racer instruments. I wish they would've put legit, cleaner, purposeful instruments to match the legit looks and performance. With that one exception, I think it is the best performance car for the money in the world.

Congrats, most guys would be happy just having either one...you have two!

The problem is the M235i weighs about the same, possibly more than a stripper M4 and less power. Not really a fair fight.

Maybe for fun you guys should find a deserted road at 10K feet elevation and give it a go? If you are a researcher, you probably understand what will happen in rarefied air.

I would take the Stingray over M4 if I could make do with 2 seats. Only one car though...

Don't let these snobby haters hate, the Vette is an awesome supercar at relatively bargain prices.

If I could make do with 2 seats, I would surely opt for a Porsche first! But maybe that's because I don't find Corvettes very feminine...

Yes... I think posting about how your M235 fared and how the M4 reacted would have been a lot more interesting, and relevant, to people on this forum.

Last set of personal choices was 1. StingRay 2. Boxer 3. M4. Had a Bucket List moment & got the 435M-Sport & FFR Cobra instead.

Hey guys,

My M235i is faster than my V6 Mustang convertible. Just an FYI!

And my post is still more relevant to this site than your thread.

I would take a Cayman S over all of these...but I am partial to German cars. I would still take an M4 over the Vette. I love old vets from the 60s but that is it. I hate the looks of modern Vettes.

I think the Stingray looks a lot like a poor man's Ferrari 458 Italia. Not sure how one could hate the look of the new Stingray, but maybe you think the 458 is hideous as well...

Hideous is not the word...gaudy would some it up. I am not a fan of Ferraris or Lambos either as far as how they look. Personal taste is all
