Automobile Magazine did a comparo between the m6, the jag(XKR) and the 911S. All convertibles. Guess who one? The 911.

 

The 911 is a sports car, m6 and XKR are coupes but that's just me and I'm crazy

 

911 is a true sports cars and the M6 and the XKR are Sport GT's as porschenut911 stated.

 

Yeah,sorta agree with porschenut..

The 911 is a lighter sports cars.. The M6 convert is as such powerful,but it is a pig and more of a GT car ... The Jag does still disappoint me though..

I even rememeber this one ep of Top Gear,in which the M6,Vantage and 911S were put to the challenge.. The M6 and Vantage clocked the same time and the 911 was quicker.. The presenters could hardly utilise the full power of the M6,as it already has so many options ( Sport mode etc etc) + the weight issue.. So the M6 wasn't a surprise..

 

Yeah, I remember that and they had a new episode comparing the AMV8 with the XKR no matter how bad the jaguar went in to a corner, drifting and so on it was still behind the AMV8.

Overall each car has its significance, Ive driven them and I can say the sportier rides are the 911 C2S and the AMV8 whilst the XKR and the M6 are much comfortable whilst less sporty.

 

Exactly!

The XKR and M6, as stated and known,are more of GT cars,regardless of the power.. While the AMV8 and 911 C2S are more nimble and sporty,period!

 

no suprise there. the 911 is the top dog. a while back, idk if any of you remember, top gear did one with the 997S coupe, m6 coupe, and the Aston martin V8 vantage (which the xkr is just a rebadged V8 vantage) and the 911 wont then too and beat both of them in a road course by IIRC 6 seconds and a good amount of trap speed.

 

uhhh... Thats just what I said?!!
hahahah

 

LOL didnt even see that

 

That top gear episode is one of my favorites, very entertaining and funny. Here it is....
