Here we have the best of the GM lineup taking on a top tier coupe from BMW. Despite one car being naturally aspirated and the other being twin turbocharged, the two are virtually the same when it comes to maximum output measured in horsepower. Shall we have a closer look?

The rear-wheel drive C8 is the first Corvette with a mid-engine platform. This engine position yields certain performance advantages as it pertains to weight distribution and torque application. Equipped with an all-aluminum 6.2-liter V8 engine that can produce 495hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, the C8 comes with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This latest version of the Corvette Stingray can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8-seconds and make quick work of the quarter-mile in 11.2-seconds @ 122 mph. Top speed for the C8 is 184 mph (computer controlled).

Not to be overlooked, the BMW M4 Competition features all-wheel drive and a twin turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder motor capable of churning out 503hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque. With the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8-seconds, it comes as no surprise that the M4 Comp can turn the quarter-mile in 11.0-seconds @ 125 mph. Top speed is 180 mph and the transmission is an 8-speed automatic.

This should be a great race. Let’s get to it.
