Well, the point was that a M240, with AWD, it's generous torque and turbo making full torque at low RPM, will take off like it's got a scalded a$$, and unless you are going above 80-100mph all the time, the difference in how much "faster" it is than a corvette is going to be minimal, in fact in some of these situations it will be faster, due to being able to put the power down better/faster (with DCT).
This does not mean the corvette is not a fast car or that it's not faster overall, but unless you are "stretching" the legs of these cars, in other words getting highly illegal, you aren't going to see a huge difference. Coming from tuned AWD turbo (my WRX), I know those can go like stink at lower speeds.
