I agree with Rob///M5. M5 > M6GC. I wish we had lap times from both cars that were accurate...

Perhaps I misunderstood him.
Dr. Biermann directly confirmed to me at COTA that the M5 and M6 GC share the very same platform/chassis. Just the various shock tuning modes and spring rates slightly differ, etc.

Cool. Good to know. But I do stand by the fact that I thought the M5 handled better. It just felt more M3-like (if there is such a thing) against the M6GC.

Yep, I guess I did misunderstand him. The wheelbase is identical to the F10/F12. My mistake.

Actually, the F10 and F06 (Gran Coupe) wheelbases are identical.

The F12/F13 (M6) wheelbase is shorter than the F10/F06, etc.
