No offense guys, but I own and love both cars (M6), but there is no comparison in the driving experience. NONE!!! They are totally different animals and the F430 walks away from the M6 at any speed I've tried.
Honestly, it's not even close for the 430 all the way.
As a side note, my M6 also walks away from my buddies stock M5. 3 car lengths to 100mph.
So, I watched the video, and something must be broke.
Stock M6 vs stock M5 isnīt such a big difference to 100 mph, maybe up to 150-160 mph.
I'm not looking to offend anyone, so I'll rspond to you skeptisim.
First, my son is 28 years old and has been driving high performance cars for many years. As a matter of fact, we've attended several driving schools together and he drives both my cars all the time.
Second, my Vert is heavier than a coupe and a little heavier than an M5 which is greatly offset by the aerodynamics of the M6 and the 3.91 rear end. My M6 is faster than any M5 I've raced.
Lastlly, I'm not one to care one way or the other which car is faster concidering I own both, so...why would guys doubt my word. It is what it is, based on what I've experienced.
Again, I'm in the unique posiyion of owning both and thought I could share some totally unbiased observations for everyone who may be interested.
At the end of the day, I realy don't reallly care which car is faster. I love them both, and as I've posted before, if I could only have one, it would be the M6.

Really it was just a friendly observation thats what it is, not cause upset. Enjoy.
I may be in the minority, but I believe the results both of the OP's video and those of cpiguy's. Different cars (slight factory variations in power), ambient conditions, starting speeds (different power bands, etc.), drivers, mileage, break-ins, tires, buttons pushed, etc., etc., could cause the somewhat variable results we have seen over the years in some races between the F430 and M5/6. Bottom line--both are brilliant cars which on occasion can give each other a reasonable challenge.

I raced an F430 before (my bro in law's). Frankly, the M5 has no chance. That thing is a monster!
Too bad didn't have my camera with me.
