M6 vs M5 from Road & Track
Read and then everyone rant about how much faster the M6 is.
Both awesome cars, but the M6 is not way ahead of the M5.

"..So how do you choose between the M5 and M6? If you need space, the M5 is the one. For those who don't, the M6 performs ever so slightly better according to the numbers. According to the seat of our pants, however, the M6 feels much better, making it the purist's choice (though at a premium of $16,000). As for styling, well, it's not even a question. Every German we came across gave the M6 a third look, whereas the M5 barely received a passing glance. Germans know their cars, and they love the M6..." from http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?se...mp;print_page=y
It is true.
It is true.

The M6 is still not 'way faster' than an M5 as someone so adamantly stated earlier.

Nissan's launch control works fine 
And it's one of the fastest cars on track nowadays.. I'd still take the M5 over these two kings of the road..

Wonder how much stress it puts on the transmission for them to not support usage....
