Front wheel drive in general is easier to drive than rear wheel drive. The gear ratio is same for M05 and M06 with 60mm diameter tires. I had M03 and M04 for TCS North American finals several years ago, the lap time were pretty close. Top speed was a bit quicker on the M04 because the tallest pinion gear was 1 tooth higher than M03. However, I found cornering speed to be a bit slower than M03.

I plan to practice with both on carpet at the TCS race this weekend in CT. Will race the faster one. Though I have a feeling the M06 will be at a disadvantage due to the TCS spec tire rule and not being able to stagger the compounds front-to-rear like the kit suggests/provides.
