Those M6s are quick!
Got into a little tangle with an M6 today. Didn't get a chance to line up from a stop or a roll, but he was able to pace me at full throttle from about 90-140. Couldn't shake him. Those things are quick!

At merely 4000lbs, the M6 does have its advantage.

Fast yes... but I wouldn't say quick. The smaller body 55's will get a jump on either the M5 or M6 though they will close the gap quickly as speeds increase.

It's quick, but wouldn't you rather have that 507hp V10 in a sports sedan (M5) than an oversized coupe?
