Well the back seats in either car are really worthless IMO. The M6's might be slightly more functional since you can actually put people in there but I never try.
Overall driving experiences are quite different. The 997TT is modded with ECU, headers, and exhaust and has close to 600 hp at the crank. Its a more violent car from a launch and has some amazing pulling power to speeds up to and over 160 mph.
The M6 is a premediated speeder, its requires you to be in the right rpm range and drive the car very hard to get the most out of it. From a dig the car is not as fast as the TT obviously but the 6 screams on the highway with its 8500 (ECU) RPM cap and 7 speeds. Its a true manual so it has no parasitic loss that slush boxes have. I find myself reaching and exceeding 160 mph daily. It also sounds amazing with the modded exhaust; the sound is like a symphony.
Handling, there is really no comparo as the 997 beats the M6 but the 4k lb M6 holds its own especially now with the coils.
In reality when I drive the P car for a few days I miss the M6 and vice-a-versa. If both cars were stock, Id want the P Car in your situation but modded (the P Car is close to 600 hp and the M6 is close to 550 hp) I would keep the M6 as a daily driver. Its cost is far less and the exhaust note is just shocking. There are interior creature comforts that I need like IPOD and Bluetooth which requires aftermarket adds with the 997TT. I know the P car would win in a dig and rolling race up to 160 but any rolling race after 160 would be more of toss up IMO.

Good god. Judging by the way you've modded your cars and the parts you've chosen, I'm assuming you're fairly young. Which makes me extremely jealous 
You have one of the most jaw dropping M6s I have EVER seen. PERIOD. I always thought they looked a bit awkward but somehow, yours takes the car to a whole new level. That turbo looks nuts as well, any chance we can see a few pics?

Found this one on lease trader and thought that it was exactly what I would look for in an M6. I really like white on this car. It makes the CF really pop.
