Anyone know the 0-60 specs of the M6?
Personally, I find the new gen of Bangalized BM's horrific. Having owned 2 bm's, I also cannot see myself heading back into the dealership to even contemplate any of the current models.
Mercedes seem to be killing BM on design over the last generation - however, what's intriguing is that BM are still increasing sales....

no offence. I am sorry but i don't see what's the point of comparing the two.

doesn't the M6 +500hp and v8 simply crushes the 997s in terms of acceleration?
As I understand it, the 997s is no match for the hp excessive m6/m5.
Handling and sheer pleasure of driving the 997s is a different story all together.

M6 has a V10 and performance is in the F430 league. I don't think its a good comparison (997s vs M6). M6 is much more expensive as well, at least in my country. 997s = $120k M6 = $170k.

i agree w/ the above comments. The M6 is so ugly everytime I see it I want to take a 2x4 to it.

Are claiming the 997 is better styled? You know the car with the Chevron happy face and style lines from the 60's.
The 997 is one of the ugliest cars on the road. This is not a subjective point of view. Most magazines in their review of the 997 comment on its lack of styling but rave over its performance. Pretty it is not.

LowPolarMoment.. we're talking about the M6 not the M5 BTW its actually 7.8lbs/hp. Whatever the case here is.. the point i'm trying to make is that an M6 is directed to a totally different market than a 997. I don't see anyone in dilema on whether to buy a 997s or an M6 (more likely an M3). Two totally different cars.
