Is an M6 with CP really faster than an equal M5?
I know something's are driver dependent; however is an 2014 M6 just "automagicly" faster than an equally equipped 2014 M5? AND, if so why? I'm speaking 1/4 mile and out of the hole for say the first 300'. I think there both equal in top speed because of the engine software.

As an old drag racer I do understand Power to weight ratio. I'm guess I just wish I would have done a little more home work before my purchase... Next time an M6.. Just somewhat disappointed the salesman did not have me look at the M6.

Hello bimmer-boy,
The salesperson knew I wanted performance above all in a four door M series. I did ask to look at an M5; however the salesman should have IMHO said, "well if you want performance you should look at the M6". I would have purchased an M6 to get into the 11's in the quarter mile as apposed to the low 12's with an M5. However that said if fishes were wishes we'd all have a fry... AND I am very happy with the M5. So in a couple of years I'll purchase an M6. |

If we are talking 2 door, then it really comes down to what your original goal was, 4 door with more space or 2 door coupe= lighter.

M5 can get to mid-11s stock.
That said the 4 door M6 won't out drag the 4 door M5 because it doesn't have a power to weight advantage. Only the M6 coupe has the power to weight advantage. Also if you want to win drag races your better option would be an Audi RS7 or Mercedes CLS63 S-AMG with 4Matic

Given the data points we've seen the 1/4 times are very similar but the M6 traps considerably higher 123-124 vs 1:20 -121 for the M5 . No good data points on what the CP M6 traps yet , but I will have one soon . At the Estoril launch event the director of the M5\6 program said the competition package M5 ran a 7:45 at the ring , that's 10 seconds faster than the normal car , the M6 will be even faster . That puts both at the level if the 991 S and old 997 GT3 ! A major improvement and amazing for 4xxx pound cars !

I am still not sure if he was referring to M6 or M6 GC, but yea, 1/4 mile is always better with AWD than RWD (same hp/weight cars) when it comes to production cars.

Correct real owners have gotten 11.6x with both the M5 /6 , with the M6 trapping 2- 3 mph faster .

I think op is just trying to make you guys angry
Everyone knows that M6 and M6GC are for people who want to pay more to buy an overall worse car and call lesser desirability an "exclusivity" |

NO I'm not blaming the salesman; I'm simply saying that "IF" he had said that the M6 was faster (he had one on the floor) then I would have considered it!! "How on earth to people buy their cars?" Wow, what a serious piece of work you are! How many Car and Driver etc. did you see running articles with performance particulars on 2014 M5s/M6s in June of '13? FWIW, THIS forum is FULL of miss information. To use your words, "You are on an online car forum after all..." Wow and you take as Gospel all that is written here because "it's an online car forum"... Moron! I write a simple question and I get folks like you who I am surprised would lower themselves to even address the answer. |

For the M6 Gran Coupe with the Comp Package, it is 22lbs heavier than the F10 M5. So you take a guess.
