No competition, the Corvette is the better track/sports/performance car for $10k less. But like you said, I just can't make that choice yet. Despite the numbers, I don't have that emotional reaction when I see and drive a Vette.
When I see a F-Type S or R, however, I totally get it. Beautiful car, nice interior, Jaguar heritage.

I don't think $10k is enough difference to be a deal breaker in this category, besides M3 got a lot more nicer interior than Vette, so that $10k difference is more than justified. What surprised me is that you are comparing 3 series (M3) to a Corvette - M3 can be a family sedan lol and a DD, while Corvette is a very narrow purpose car - that's a win for Bimmer here in versatility. Same 1/4 and slightly better 0-60 (0.2 difference) - I don't think "no competition" is a proper word in this case. No sir. But this is just my opinion
