I was a bit surprised about this, obviously I'm going to be biased for the M6 but the only other times I could find where the cars had been on the same track on fastest laps is:
Autozeitung 1:37.80 vs 1:41.40 for the M8 GC vs M6 GC Inta 1:08.37 vs 1:11.46 M8 Coupe vs M6 GC Figure 8 23.30 vs 24.40 M8 Coupe vs M6 Coupe Sachsenring 1:31.33 vs 1:36.20 M8 Coupe vs M6 Coupe So overall there is about a 3% speed improvement for the M8 over the M6. I'm not sure why at Willow the M8 didn't do so well.

The M6 is nowhere near as close to being as fast as the M8. I had a M6GC and it's not remotely close to being as fast as my F90 M5....still a great car, though.

Indeed! And how many of us has been anywhere near the edge of the M6 performance envelope? Except for traffic light drag race...
As far as I'm concerned, the performance gains have become meaningless to what I think 99% of us, so other factors are more important... |

Side note: Love watching Randy drive and talk about cars. If you guys aren't familiar, he did a view videos on a channel called VinWiki that are very entertaining. |

Randy is awesome. Don't know why his lap with the new M8 is slower than the M6GC. But he's still awesome. He was ranting and raving about the M6GC. Didn't do much on the M8.
Comparison-wise, the M8GC weighs 50 lbs more than the M6GC but also makes 40hp and 50 lb-ft of torque more. The M8GC is 105 lbs heavier than the F90 M5. |

You get signs like this and might see 2 cars in that 50km drive. The only issue with these drives in my C63 was averaging 20-25l/100km and nearly running out of petrol

Same in Tasmania, I could move there simply because of the roads, but would probably need a bit smaller car as the M6 feels B I G on those twisty roads... |
