And I might be wrong, but the M6 will probably do 100km/h to 140km/h faster than the M3 - which is why you'll feel the greater push back into your seat in an M6.

M6 = 520Nm of torque / 1710kg weight = 0.304
M3 = 400Nm of torque / 1580kg weight = 0.253

That's a rush ratio of 0.304/0.253 = 1.2 times as much rush!
RS6 = 650Nm of toque / 2025kg weight = 0.321

So does this mean the RS6 is indeed the quicker in the 100k/m to 140km/h sector.
