I have posted links to bmwusa and now, for your enjoyment, links to C&D for their instrumented tests
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...pe-test-review
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...ic-test-review

Their test results are in the lower right corner. (for everyone else bored with this back and forth)

M6 Gran Coupe
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 3.7 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 8.0 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 13.0 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 4.0 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.1 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.8 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.9 sec @ 124 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 160 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 168 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.92 g

M4 DCT
Zero to 60 mph: 3.7 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 8.5 secc
Zero to 130 mph: 14.5 sec
Zero to 160 mph: 25.7 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 4.7 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.2 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.0 sec @ 119 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 163 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 150 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 1.00 g

So if I'm pointing to actual websites and not showing homemade youtube videos, how exactly is that immature? In short, looking at the above numbers how exactly does your car crush the M4 in a straight line?
The significantly higher (yes, 5 mph at a 1/4 mile is substantial) trap speed indicates a propensity for the M6 to further pull away from the M4 after the 1/4 miles culminates.
