I always thought the M in past gens was better handling than the base Vette (different for the more extreme versions of the Vette) but didn't have the straight-line punch. This time it seems like the base Vette is better handling and faster.

Not actually true. A standard Z51 equipped Vette in 2008 ran a 3:01.2 and an M3 (e92) ran a 3:05.6.
For those of you that think the Camaro is all tires and that's it. The hosts initially thought it was the tires and the more they dug deeper into what made the car so quick and so much fun, they realized it is the complete package and the GM engineers worked wonders with this car.
