Three very different cars but the outcome around the track was to be expected. The BMW is in over its head here.

The AWD is key, and the two Turbo's, but notheless it is a strong competitor. It will be rediculously close i bet!!!

only mistake with the Z4M in this comparison is because of the power, the car miss about 150hp to match them in acceleration

Well whatever the reason, it still wasn't a fair comparo to any of the cars though it is interesting to see how vastly different cars stack up in the same type of tests.

The SL55 was faster than the Z4M on the track!

SL55 1:47.22
Z4M 1:48.24
ZO6 1:40.57

The ZO6 is a very light car. I think the SL55 weighs 900lbs to 1000lbs more than both these cars!!

I like the ZO6 but the interior could fit in a tin can! it`s very crappy indeed.

Z4M obvisoly is faster in the courves but loose big time on the straightlines. Z4M obviosly miss straightline acceleration.
SL55 is faster around the track than 911 Turbo but slower than M6. I wonder what time 997S would achieve.

Z06 has 7 seconds lead over the two others and thats a lot. What a car.

So the M6 is faster than the 911 turbo and SL55?

(The SL55 in this test looks like the face-lifted one. It`s performance would be better than the preface lifted SL55)

You know, tracks look different, some cars suit one track better than another track. if one car is faster than another car around one track and they drive around 10 other tracks then it doesnt mean the same car is going to win on all the 10 tracks.

Yes its a facelifted SL55 and yes without no doubts at all, the facelifted SL55 must be faster than the prefacelifted one. Both in straightline acceleration and in curves, I bet my money on it.

Re: Autobild: Z4M Roadster, Z06, SL55

Just_me is right , you cant win on every single track , but I cant see where is the M6 better than the SL55 on this track and where is SL55 better than M6 on the other track they tested ....
