No problem with that, everybody has preferences. I'm just tired of the myth and lies about pushrod engines being antiquated/outdated technology.
As for the M3 vs C6 acceleration-wise, I think the C6 takes it. Don't get me wrong, the M3's V8 is a jewel of an engine. However, I'm not so blinded as to think that somehow the M3's V8 can somehow outperform the LS3 in a car that weigh roughly 500 lbs less.
If anything, I think the M3 may make the Vette sweat from 0-60, beyond that, I think the Vette's lead will widen quite a bit. Car and Driver got the new '08 Corvette to run 0-60 in 4 seconds flat, hitting the quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds. I don't think the M3 can match that, especially in the quarter-mile.
However, with that being said, there's no way of being 100% sure until we see comparisons where both cars are tested.
