had enough of the Sl55,and its 6 months or so til my M6 turns up so fancy a 997s,question is drophead or coupe ?
Is there a noticeable difference in performance and handling ? I like the idea of the convertible but not if the things i like about porkers are afected.
Any advice ?

 

Flip a coin man! I'd go for a silver or white cab.

 

Gotta love this post!!!...a 997 is a "filler" car, till the M6 arrives in 6 months.

 

where do you live?

 

You talk'n to me???

 

cab weighs about 200 lb more tan coupe and is 0.2 sec more to 60mph. cab has virtually identical performance.

i also find it interesting someone would prefer a M6 over 997. If you crave more preformance, get a 997S or TT and forget about the M6.

 

naw, franki... basically i was going to say if he lives in a warmer climate go with the conv.

 

Cool...

 

i say cab, spring is in the air.

anyone know about the official launch date of the m6. heard that the e60 m5 will be out sept/oct and think that they would give a few months leeway to keep m car demand up.

 

cab it all the way home.

 

To answer your Q....get a cab with the hard top option.....best of both worlds.

 

damn, you're good!

 

i say coupe.
i don't need a tan so i will pass the conv.

lol.

200 pounds is a lot of weight, it will make a difference in how the car feels. However, if a few tenths of a second don't matter to you then the cab is the way to go.

 

get a cab if you can hail one. i hear there're gone until 2006. Chicago area dealers gor approx 3-4 from April or one allocation per month.
