You conveniently used the "new results"

2014 BMW M6GC:

Power: 560 hp @ 7000 rpm
Torque: 502 lb-ft @ 1500 rpm
Curb weight: 4395 lb

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

And yes, the trap speed difference of 10mph is a lot and yes from 60 the M6 GC is starting to pull away, but in the real world, where most everything is 0-60, the S7 does keep up very well with the M6 and is rated at only 420hp

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).
