Here's a 2005 Corvette data from R&T. http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/d...mparo_data.pdf

Just so you know, C&D did much better than these numbers. My point is, they are very close with the current M3 numbers, so in any given day one can do better than the other depending on driver, conditions, etc. etc. But overall, i still think the new Vette should be quicker and faster especially with the hp bump up to 430.
