M6 coupe vs M5
M6 GC vs M5
After watching Chris Harris take on M6 GC vs E63S vs Jag XFR begs the question of M6 GC vs M5? Especially when BMW says that 0.3 sec faster than M5 0-60 mph,,, why? M6 GC not that much lighter and more powerful!! Am I the only one who doesn't see M6 especially front end more beautiful? Rear looks amazing hands down M6 But Front no way I will take M5 hands down,, and what matters more about a car is the front. .. I believe E63 looks hideous front and back - LOL

LOL If you are no Mechanic then don't say these are the turbos because they are not - As far as I know - But I am no mechanic either ... anybody who's a better mechanic can chime in where they are -

I've driven both on track, and while I appreciate the styling of the M6GC, the car is just not as sharp as the M5. I don't care what any review states.
As far as track performance is concerned: M6 > M5 > M6GC |

In other words the M6GC is not faster than the M5, and your question is the wrong question and it's a waste of time worry about.

But it is 4 sec flat without launch control stealth.pilot?
Which is probably faster than M5 without LC.. And seems faster per Chris Harris who was like surprised with how it performed!! It is bigger than M5 but like 50 pounds lighter, right?

You are the track guy but I am going to com[pare based on road experience. M6>M5 because of lower center of gravity and shorter wheelbase.

The M5 has 295 rear tires vs 305 rear tires for the M6 And as regards the stated 560hp number. In the last edition of German Auto Bild Sportscars, they wrote that the acceleration in the higher gears, was "far to good" for it's stated 575hp... (it was a comparison test with RS7, CLS 63 S AMG and Panamera Turbo) Last edited by Boss330; 01-23-2014 at 01:01 PM.. |

I never ran them side by side as I have yet to figure out how to drive two cars at once LOL .... but my ass always told me that the M6 was faster from a roll and even a dig.

In any case I am no big fan of how big the M6 GC yet I love it's rear but never cared for the front or to be more specific head lights ... But somehow I feel it will be faster and might actually be tuned to be so by M department... Thanks Vic55 for chiming in.. Are there any cars there were not in your stable? - Hahahahah ha When I grow up I wanna be Vicc55... haha teasing ya..

As there is no way difference between both cars is just 60 hp at least I will conservatively say 100 if not more.. But again that is butt dyno which can be deceptive.... As weirdly I feel that 550i is less fast when same speed like let's say 80 mph my M5 you feel the speed may be exhauste and steering feel... may be cause only vice of 650i is diaconnectedness... Horse power difference felt at higher gears and speeds between both.. and I even test drove CLS 2012 PP and I am positive it felt slower but louder than F10 M5 for sure.. IMHO My 2 cents
