There's a top gear w/ 997S, AMV8, and M6. I'll find the link in a sec. It's not a 997 turbo, but the 997 turbo will only be the results+more performance (-bad looks).


EDIT: I can't find it... maybe someone else will have better luck, sorry

I saw an M6 the other day booting it down the road...the sound was amazing....

Different animals definetely, an M6 is a GT, a very fast one at that..there is talk of a CSL version of it which will be more of a GT2 competitor if you look at what they did with the M3.

I would say the 997TT would put a bigger smile on your face when you want to have fun though, they would be alot more 'chuckable' than the said M6.

Tough call,depends on wether you need a sports car or GT..I have the m6 (previous to it was a 997s ,AMG Sl55 and 996tt) and it is great,the engine is truly something special,it makes all of the above cars seem slow especially above 100 mph ..it handles as well..but it is a big car,very practical and very comfortable.
It does not quite give you the buzz the porsche will..depends on what you need.I will only change it for a 997tt.

You have a SL65 already which is like a GT convertible. So why buy another GT? Get a 997 Turbo.

Both nice

I think the M6 with the V-10 motor is the best engine out there,but I think the 997 TT motor will have alot more potential to build horsepower

not for daily bases. thing got no low-end torque, worse than turbo lag imo. not to mention with a tranny has mind of itself.

the tranny is bad but only in auto mode,in manual mode it is amazing especially when cracking on..the speed of gearchange when is staggering.And the engine is amazing,truly one of the finest production engines ever.

Engine transmission of the M6 are sweet. But the pontiac nose and bangle butt suck.

Maybe is Fisker does a M6 it would be awesome.

Well it's no V-10 like the Viper, but I really like the motor in the M5......But that's only my opinion........
