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.
Notice on the list GT3RS had R compound tires and Z06 served it ....and GT3 is a god's gift around lol...

Z06 might have leaf springs but makes Ferraris cry
