How can say "Easily" when the parameters of the race were never defined (roll-race, 1/4m..etc.)? Let's use the recent Motor Trend tests of the SLS GT and M6 (non-CP) as a comparison:

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...pe_first_test/

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...gt_first_test/

The non-CP M6: 0-60: 4.0s and 1/4m: 12.1 @ 123.1mph

SLS GT: 0-60: 3.7s and 1/4m: 11.7 124.5mph

So it took the M6 8.1s to go from 60mph to 123.1mph. The SLS GT took 8.0s to go from 60-124.5 mph. Yes the SLS GT is faster but the rolling performance is alot closer than many would expect. If the competition package adds some top end power (as advertised) it would definitely close the gap a little bit. Plus if the weather is cool out... the turbo car is going to benefit much more than the N/A V8. So I can see the M6 CP being VERY competitive with the SLS GT and even beating it in certain favorable conditions.
