So even though M3 will be fast it will not be quicker then the M5/M6. I believe it will be a better track machine then M6/M5 and will have better fuel economy.
It will probably be either a drivers race or computer race (whichever car has the best launch control software...) up to 60 or 80 mph. Then the M5 will dominate.
