The M6 is without a doubt a very, very quick car, especially at triple digit speeds.
Low 12s at over 115 is just fine for a street car.
The acceleration of the M6 is certainly impressive to me, and I've owned an '03 Cobra with fairly substantial work done to it, so I think I have fair perspective on what a "fast" car is.
As far as comparisons to a tuned N54, in my experience, a 135i with Catless DPs, JB3, and 100 octane is a driver's race with an M5 until ~120mph. This isn't surprising, given both are low 12 second cars that trap in the mid 1-teens. I don't think there's any doubt that the fastest tuned 335is are faster than an M6, given they put down a similar amount of power to the wheels (perhaps down 20-30, 400-410 as opposed to 420-430), while weighing a few hundred pounds less.
