Not exactly!
First of all do you have the trap speed for this particular M6 with 740 HP?
Second, let me re-post the reports "gmd2003" posted the other day.
Look at the results and compare R8 with M6. R8 can reach 0-50 km/h in 1.6 second and then 0-100 km/h in 3.5 second. It means this car needs 1.9 second to go from 50 km/h to 100 km/h. M6 needs 1.9 second to go from 0 to 50 and 2 second to go from 50-100. It's telling me that R8 reaches 50 sooner because it's AWD while the acceleration curve is not the same in this two brackets. on the other hand M6 is having launch issue due to RWD and lose some times to get moved. again different acceleration curve. now let's put launch issue out of picture. R8 can go from 100 km/h to 250 km/h in 15.5 seconds the same as M6. it means at drag race R8 beats M6 but at rolling from 100 km/h to 250 km/h they are the same. another comparison is 0-200+ km/h that M6 beats R8 long way. so what I'm trying to say is that a RWD may beat an AWD in rolling and not in drag.
