Hate to say it, but you are looking a a dead, dumb kid. Why parents, no matter how rich buy these/any kid a 500 hp car is beyond me.
You know, when I was 16 I was driving a 300hp 2500lbs practically race prepped 64 1/2 mustang with no safety features except a lap belt. Hell the speedometer didn't even work. I turned out ok

This past sunday afternoon I saw a dark colored M6 on the freeway. Too bad i was driving my beater car though otherwise if I were in my EVO I would have thrown him the bait......

Those M6's have the M5's engine, but I wonder which car is heavier? The M5 or the M6?

Anyhow, when my EVO was at the 380 AWHP mark on the stock turbo, I smoked an M5 pretty bad from a 70-130 roll.....I cant imagine how much of a kill it would be now with ~500 AWHP.....
For some odd reason the M6 is a bit heavier than the M5. Idk why.

The M6 is lighter. Part of it is the carbon fiber roof. But the M6 is slightly lighter, with a lower center of gravity.

M5 Curb Weight = 4012 lbs.
M6 Curb Weight = 3909 lbs.

Maybe you were thinking about the M6 convertible?



M6 curb weight: 3909 lbs.
M5 curb weight: 4012 lbs.

M6 gross weight: 4850 lbs.
M5 gross weight: 5071 lbs.

With some options added to the cars, the M6 ends up being about 200lbs lighter than the M5.

I should go look for some m5 to run against. I want to see if 380whp is good enough to put me ahead.
