Our cars are gutless gas guzzlers, till 6K when they become banshee gas guzzlers..

While I also would bet on the M versus the 280hp Z, keep in mind a stock S65 is only putting around ~275whp at 6K. I bet a 370Z (with the 330hp 3.7L) would win (again, M3 shifting at 6K), given the weight difference as well.
