These two cars are not really competitors to each other as someone stated. One is a 2 seat sports car and the other is a GT car. For the sake of this thread to compare the two, here is my opinion. The ZO6 is seriously fast in the right hands, but with its cheap run-flats, the car is very tricky to drive aggressively. The biggest problem, the car is just not refine. The interior is rental car quality, and the car is just TOO plastic. However, it would make a great track car. The M3 on the other hand is light years ahead in technology compared to the Corvette. It's simply a more usable car on the streets and can be very potent on the track as well.
No, 2 seconds is about where its at...

2009 ZR1 was on street tires and ran 1:35.8
2012 ZR1 on R tires ran 1:33.70

4 seconds lol..
