Getting back to the main topic...since the cars seem to be so close in the 0-60 race, I think the deciding factor is going to be the driver.

that is your choice, I can afford either vehicle, and my choice is the C6.
Like you said it's down to preference.
But when it comes down to just performance.
Stock for stock
a M3 will never be able to stay with a Vette.
Equally matched drivers, the M3 will always see the tail pipes of the Vette.
As the thread said which is faster a C6 or M3
let's see what's faster than a M3, 2 vehicles in this comparo

that was a LS2 without the steering, engine and transmission improvements, I'm sure the LS3 will cut a couple of seconds off those times.

On a race track, the lighter C-6 will prevail hands down, the 436 HP
make it closer to a M-6 a Ferrari 430 is just marginally faster,
The reason I am buying an M-3 is as a daily driver, period it is a different car
the C-6
If you are planning on a drag race, don't tell the guys in Munich They will cringe and hope you buy something else
