I would go with the M6 obviously, the looks, the power, the everything. Carrera S = respect, but the M6 just dominates what the Carrera S has to offer.

 

I personally dont like the M6...There's something about it which just doesnt make it too appealing, especially its looks. For its price, I could get a 997TT, or something like an AM Vantage, with some change left. Or, just get a 997S and spend the extra money doing upgrades and mods

 

I would have to agree with most of the peeps on here. The M6 is just too damn ugly to sit in my garage. The 997s is the obvious choice.

 

0 - 60 is such an insignificant measure in the real world. And what's the point of having all that horsepower if it can't go around corners?

Since none of us have driven the M6 in the real world we have to take what's on paper as our best guide. So far none of the mags have given the nod to the M6 over the 997S. The only place the M6 appears to "dominate" is on your piece of paper, and if that's what you drive rather than the real thing, then by all means enjoy your "dominance".

 

Drove it....Really fast off the line, but not appealing at all! Car felt heavy, especially at turns and bends. If I was 50+ and wanted a comfortable, subtle, and ugly daily driver, I'd get it. But, fortunately, thats not what I'm looking for. And by the way, the SL55 is a whole lot more fun to drive!

 

I've gotta admit, the bimmer 6's looks are growing on me. Except for the fronts which remains somewhat hostile to my sensibility sensors.
That said, imo, I thought the m6's value edge is significant if priced at $100k or so since it will be fairly loaded.
But then again, everytime I sat in a 645's seat, it does seem to be more about luxury and features and less about agility and manueverability.

 

Rear to me is ugly, the way the trunk chops off. Typical Bangle butchery.

 

Another kiddy racer with his d*ck out trying to prove his manhood. Why do this stupid **** and:

a) think it's scientific proof of one car's superior performance over another. It's not and never will be.

b) endanger other people's lives who don't want anything to do with your amateurish testosterone games?

If you really have better than average driving skills and b8lls take them to the track and prove how much better a driver you are and how much better your car is to your buddy there. Then let's see some real data printouts to prove it.

Stupid!

 

you didnt understand ... i met him on the road ,,, but raced on a private road .... within our complex ... iam aint stupid to race on public roads...

watch your words ... I haven't said anything about you..

 

 

Ofcoarse the 997 S , The M6 might be faster on the straights though ...

 

I'm choosing between the M6 & the 997 too .....

Still can't decide ....

i find it funny so many of you assume the lighter, but less powerful 997 will outrun the M6 in the turns.

given equal drivers, it'll be damn close esp on a public course. the diff will only show thru in a long race track like nurburgring with expert drivers.

The M6 is a faster, more powerful car than the 997 S. but is it going to be as fun? not sure. that's up for debate.

 

I don't find it funny at all: I think it's called physics and may have something to do with a Mr. I Newton...

It's also part of Colin Chapman's rule of "Just add lightness".

Frankly if Porsche could get another 100kg's of weight out of the 997 it would be SO much better.

By comparison the M6 and M5 are hippo's trying to become ballet dancers. Never going to happen. A carbon fiber roof for the M6 is merely the equivalent of moving the deckchairs on the Titanic. In other words it's too heavy and has a C.o.G. that's at least 50mm too high.
