Default what would you rather have? c5 Z06, c6 vette, or 04 M3?

just like the title says....wht would u rather have? all new.
2004 corvette Z06 $43-45k
2005 c6 corvette $48-50k
2004 bmw M3 $50k
lets see...am i missing any other vehicles??? its gotta be more fun and more powerful than my 350Z.
this would be to replace the Z and be a third car. dont need a sedan as i still love my gs400.

04 Z06 might be a little rough for most people, it broke 8min at the ring...but it's my favorite

Well no M3 to be found, I'll take the C6 based on these results. I stole the items below from one of my other sites.

___________________________________________________________

"The Nordschleife at the Nurburgring is a 13 mile track containing 70 curves. The following was provided:

7:52 - Gemballa Porsche 993
7:55 - GSX-R 750 -98
7:55 - Kawasaki ZX-9R
7:56 - C6 Coupe (not Z06)
7:56 - Porsche 996 GT3 (in 2000)
7:56 - Porsche 996 Turbo (in 2000)
7:56 - NSX Type R
8:09 - Lamborghini Diablo SV
8:05 - 2002 Ferrari 575 Maranello
8:09 - Porsche 993 GT2
8:07 - Ferrari 550 Maranello
8:13 - Ferrari F355
8:19 - CTS - V

Obviously the vette team pursued an engineering refinement direction, rather than a clean sheet start with the C6. Why not? The C5 is a great car. The C6 builds on the C5 technology and did not just fix the niggy naggy things like the gas cap release location, but improve handling to an elite level while improving, or maintaining ride comfort. WOW.

I would consider the C6.
From what I've heard the C6's peformance should be on par with the last gen C5 Z06!!

I'd definitly go with the M3.. simply because I like the styling better than the Vette's, plus isnt there more passenger room in an M3? Although thats not really the reason, mostly the styling and power combo.

if it's purely a speed race, of course the c6. but m3 is a much more all around car imho, so that's why it gets my vote
