I was going strictly by times that the Corvette reached 150 mph 1 second quicker than the M3 and the fact that M3 starts to gain after 100 mph.

Theoratically, despite the difference between the trap speeds at the 1/4 mile, M3 goes neck and neck till 60 mph at 4.1 seconds and then Corvette gains a few car lengths seeing their 0- 100 mph difference of 0.6 of a second in favor of the Corvette (9.2 vs 9.8) and then M3 gains big time over the next 13 mph making it to the quarter mile almost neck and neck (less than a car length at 0.1 seconds). Seeing the trap speeds, M3 reaches 115 mph about 0.2 - 0.3 seconds after the Corvette yet, it reaches 150 mph just 1 second behind. That means M3 made gains between 115 - 150 mph. The difference in trap speed came from the gains Corvette made between 60 - 100 mph of 0.6 seconds (about 3 - 4 car lengths) and then M3 continuously reels it back.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the M3 does not and can not achieve 4.1 0-60

the M3 is a mid to upper 4 second car.
