The C7 is WAY better to drive than a GT-R. My humble opinion, of course. But I am speaking from experience.
The base C6 is only 2.5" wider than your old M3; 2.3" shorter front-to-back; 4.9" shorter ground-to-sky
In fact, the gross volume of a base C6 is 27 ft^3 less than the gross volume of a 2006 M3...

I think the difference is you are sitting closer to the ground in a Vette.
vettes do have a strange feel. very low seating position in a low car. they feel very wide. but whatever i could get used to it, ive even considered buying a used one, i just hate there are so many vettes on the road. in my area its all old people, and man do they love corvettes. I still like the way japanese cars look, feel, smell, etc. the best.
i think the biggest difference is in the fact that the seating area is so much further back in the vette than the other car.
majority of the car is hood, then cockpit, then tiny trunk. cars seem much bigger to drive when over half of its length is in front of you as opposed to being more 50/50 or rear heavy.

also, i would drive the gtr, but i could find many better things to spend 100k+ on.

the new is one of the sexiest looks they've ever come up with but that only proves you can polish a turd. AMAZING motor. it's just the build quality that kills me. if GM took a fraction of the GTR's designers engineers in regard to interior or body structure they'd have a decent car. it's like every corvette I've sat in (except new one, haven't gone yet) seems to have cheap panels, creeks and sounds after a mere 1 or 2 years of use.
I mean, they look cool and when they're already rolling they are a beast on a straight line. but's all about it for me. For the money there certainly are better cars than this.
Are you seriously suggesting they can't hang in the curves? Look at the Nürburgring lap times.

Once you get past the "track packaged" and limited production uber exotic cars what do you see? Corvettes ahead of Porches, Masseratis, ferraris, Paganis, Koenigseggs, and yes, even your highly praised GTR. Hell even the 2014 Z/28 isnt lagging too far behind the GTR's 2011 time. So obviously people that know a hell of a lot more than you would disagree. That being said, maybe it is "about all it is, for you..." Learn to drive in the bends without AWD mofo!
And with.
You are 100% wrong in this account. New car vs new car, there is nothing in the price range of the Corvette that has better handling prowess, acceleration, and braking. You simply cannot argue that the Corvette is not the best bang-for-the-buck proposition available in a new car.
Also, the ZR1 is a good bit heavier than the Z06.
