There is a 3k ECU Flash that is showing some super scary gains on the M3.

With that being said, the C6 is still the best performance per buck anywhere. Anybody that says otherwise needs to clean their loop.
Anyone who thinks that the tires aren't a huge factor on cars this fast isn't being realistic. The runflats on the Vette suck, and that's the reason BMW isn't using them on the M3.

And as I said earlier, you're already $10k in the hole on the M3 when compared to the Vette, and now you're talking about a $3k ECU flash. Do you have any idea what you can do to a Vette with $3k? For that kind of money you can have a tune, headers, and a reasonable exhaust. You're going to be around 465Hp at that point.
