Don't get me wrong I've driven a 6, lovely cars but it's just not the same as a big turbo'd XUD coming on boost with a big turbo IMO. Like Ruan says they are totally different cars after a bit of work.
Nah that's fair enough using it as a benchmark as it's always good to have a target to work towards but I'm sure you can see the argument when people can be negative towards something and then use it as a benchmark to say something is amazing.
I don't want to turn this into another Petrol V Diesel thread as they both have their advantages, I even said I'd love another one to play with again but space only allows one car for me, however the point I was trying to make was that there is more to the argument than just straight line speed or power figures, either car can be better than the other in different scenarios.
