German Car Zone

no brainer for me..SL63 all the way

I like the SL63 and 997TT equally as much but they are a little different and I would buy on depending on what I'm in the market for. The SL is a luxury glider which works wonders as a daily driver while the Porsche is the car you can shine with on a boulevard but is in an essence a pure sports car perfect for anyone who have dream of ever owning engineering excellence.

No. Because it is cheaper to buy and to own than the other two. If you ignore the cost factors then the Porsche is the car which won the test.

If it's cheaper to buy and to own, while being just as good as (or better than) the Porsche in the other parts overall, doesn't that make it a good car? It's not like we are comparing the Turbo against a Korean- or Japanese- or South American-built car.
Not so sure we can ignore the cost factors; if BMW were charging, say, 300K euros for the M6 and a 5K euro service every 10K km, then most people in their right mind would see that as an incredibly poor value in the category, and something of a joke of a car.
Removing the environment/costs category points, the BMW is still ahead by 7 points.

Anyway, Porsche for me.

Ignore the cost factor and the finishing score would be:

997TT: 822
SL63: 715
M6: 700

In the performance and driving dynamic category the Porsche was better than the M6 in all possible ways. That is also emphasized by the performance figures for acceleration, slalom and lap time. The M6 might be a better GT but the 997TT is the better sports car.

That is only the driving dynamics score. This test was a test of the better overall car, and that encompasses 4 other major categories.
Excluding cost/environment, the finishing score would be:
SL63: 2704
M6: 2662
997TT: 2655

That is pretty much what I expected when I saw the title of the thread. The SL and 911 trade places so easily depending on what one is looking for sport/luxury or luxury/sport.

so what you are saying here is that M6 is bad car?

No, just not as good as the other two.

Not to mention it's fugly next to the others IMO of course

It is.
