And on top of that, the interior of the M6 is a level below the R230.

SL65, E55T, Pending S65
I really don't think the video proves much. The M6 looks like it pull on the SL at high speed but I would expect nothing less from a lighter car that has similar HP.
Why don't you go back and race from a dead stop where the torque of the SL55 could put it out front to stay for quite a while. I think the rolling start distorts the real story here. Lack of torque means less seat in the pants puch to get going.
Just my .02
I actually like the M6 and have one on order.
