Format is pretty dull - or maybe it's just JB. I'm sure Chris Harris would have made it more interesting.

That said I won't be buying either (£30k or otherwise).

Agreed. I wouldn't walk past a 911 to get one either.

Enjoyed the vid thanks! thumbup it must be great to be in a position to own either brand new, the GTR offers similar for a lot less cash though.

Great vid... thanks for the link! smile

Surprised how much faster the F12 M6 is than the F10 M5... I wonder if the same was true of the E63 M6 and E60 M5?

That review claims they run the same tyres?

The M5 is running on 19's whereas the M6 is on 20's. Most M5's seem to be specced with the 20's - don't know if they would make much difference to the M5's lap time?
