Just because they are both roughly in the same price category with two doors doesn't mean they are comparable. Its like comparing a Bentley GT to an F458. It doesn't make any sense. As much as I love the GT-R, it is not THE car to be measured against everything else. Christ.
Yes, the M6 and GT-R are different types of car both with a very different focus. I didn't say the GT-R is THE car to measure against every other car, nor did I say they should be compared because of their price category. I'm talking strictly in terms of their performance which could be in a similar range.

For example, look at the recent Road & Track article comparing the GT-R, 911 Turbo S, and Veyron. The basis of this comparison was the ability of these three cars to achieve 0-60 times under 3 seconds. Each of these cars have a different focus and are in vastly different price ranges, yet they are still being compared on performance. This is the reason I'm curious why people think the M6 and GT-R can't be compared.
