4 seconds lol..
2 secs? You obviously have no experience with R-compounds. Comparing lap times of the same car at different days even with the same driver and setups can yield different lap times. Have you checked the lap time on the C6 zo6 at the Ring in 6/2007? Use that lap time for street tires vs the one equipped with the cup tires and you'll fall off your chair.

Technologies? The ZO6 has a push rod motor, leaf springs and a display of a calculator found at the dollar store. The M3 has an F1 inspired high revving V8, EDC, M variable diff lock, updated I-drive, and offers a dual clutch transmission. Sure, the M3 has a few more pounds than the Vette but one can seat 4-5 people and with 4 doors. The Vette is made out of mostly plastic and 2 flimsy chairs. Great performance but a poor product in terms of quality.
