Sounds like Chevrolet promo.

Why compare 2-seater roadster corvette to a 4-seater E92 M3?

and how about 5 seater, 4 door E90 M3?
Why would a roadster be compared to that?
How about Chevy sticks their Vett up their @ and compare it to MB SL???

... and No Farewell to M3!
M3 is around and about and back with major upgrades and with sister M4 in just a few months!

M3 FTW!!!

(end rant)
Wow, you sound a little insecure. If you think this comparo is a staged promo, read some of the other C7 reviews to get an idea of its performance. Also, this particular C7 is not a roadster, it is a coupe with a targa top. As many other posters pointed out, this comparison is to show how well the existing benchmark performance of the old M3 compares to the new kid on the block.

Same goes to the BMW vs. Porsche.
Nonetheless, nice car.

As far as comparisons go, why does everything have to be exact? Both cars are 2-door, RWD coupes with naturally aspirated V8 engines and great performance. That seems like reason enough for comparison to me. For some people, a back seat may not be a consideration, so they may be comparing other things like performance, value, comfort, luxury etc.
