Weight difference = 286 pounds which is not much considering the power difference.

The M6 also weighs about the same as the new GT-R.
286 lbs isn't much of a difference for acceleration between M6 and M3. It actually has no effect on the M6 due to the power difference.

However, ~300 lbs makes a HUGE difference when talking about corners.
