Further, we have no idea if the S600 in question was stock. If it was chipped and otherwise modded, it would trap much faster...one guy on here has trapped at 123 in a modded S600.
All we know is that the S600 got the M, but we really don't know what factors went into it.
Stock to stock, though, from a highway roll where every driver did everything perfectly and romped it at exactly the same time, I too would put my money on the M, provided the driver remembered to hit the "M" button, put the car into S6 mode, flick the batmobile afturburner button, blow the ballast tanks, batten down the hatches, etc.

reminds me of a situation i had a couple of years ago while driving an e39 m5. here i was picking on this slightly modded e500 when out of nowhere comes his big brother...a brand spanking new w211 e55. well he rubbed my nose in that v8kompressor badge pretty good and it's probably needless to say, but i got sent home without my lunch money.

When you have 2 cars that are very close performance-wise it can all come down to who gets the better jump. If the S600 dropped the hammer say 1-2 seconds quicker that could be enough to pull an M6 and vice-versa.
The S600 is the easier car to drive (in a straight line) and if the M6 wasn't in the perfect gear at the perfect RPM then the S600 could have easily won.
