And finally, that C&D M6 GC was absurdly fast. Faster than any regular M6 I've ever seen (which as you point out weighs less).
S7 or any AWD or even rearward weight bias car can take advantage of getting off the line better while M6 or any RWD torque monster with front bias weight distribution is suffering from traction issue to take off, but the real world is not just 0-60... to me the rolling is more important and I enjoy smashing on the gas while driving at free way speed

According to the M6GC result, I'm not sure if that particular M6GC is too fast, but I have seen lots of 60-130 mph reports of mid to high 7s (compare to north 9s of C&D report) for M6 Coupe with competition package (the current one 575 ps and not the new 600 ps)... yes a bit less weight and more power...
Can't wait to see the results of 2016 M6 Coupe with CP
