The M6 is aimed at the 40+ crowd, while the GT-R is aimed at the 30+ crowd.
Two totally different markets IMO.

I agree that the target markets for the M6 and GT-R are very different, and both cars have a completely different focus. See my reply to WRXXX about that. Someone shopping for a GT car probably won't be looking at the GT-R. With that said, it's not pointless to compare the two strictly on performance. Magazines, journalists, Top Gear, etc run many kinds of comparisons like this all the time.

Anyway, sorry for running the thread off course. I think the F12 in M6 guise is absolutely stunning. It has real presence about it that I never felt the E63 M6 had.
