The C6 Corvette is in the ballpark of 3200-3250lbs. The E92 M3 will be north of 3600lbs, probably north of 3700lbs. No comparison. Though, to be fair, the Corvette is a two-seat sports car with a bit of luxury. The M3 is a four-seat luxury GT, not a sports car. Two very different cars.
Bavarian Motorist, drive a C5 Z06 corvette sometime. It is all sound and fury up to its 6,500 RPM redline. It revs quickly, it's geared short, and it sounds like nothing else. Then come back and tell us how you feel about horsepower per liter. 
First year CTS-Vs had the same drivetrain as the Z06. Who says they aren't fun in a completely un-Boxsteresque way? Video, right click save as |
I say they're not fun. I've driven a few CTS-Vs. If you like driving a Corvette that's carrying a 1000lb load, you'll like driving a CTS-V.
My Silverado has the same series V8 as the CTS-V, so I guess you could say they're more truck like than the average car too.
