Don't forget, it's sinfully ugly compared to the R230 as well.
And on top of that, the interior of the M6 is a level below the R230.

I really don't think the video proves much. The M6 looks like it pull on the SL at high speed but I would expect nothing less from a lighter car that has similar HP.

Why don't you go back and race from a dead stop where the torque of the SL55 could put it out front to stay for quite a while. I think the rolling start distorts the real story here. Lack of torque means less seat in the pants puch to get going.

Just my .02

I actually like the M6 and have one on order.

Couldn't of said it better myself-- BUT, neither can your SL65 :v

I dislike these kind of rolling start races. Especially when you look at where all the torque that is in a pullied SL55, down low. I want to see that same test from a standing start. I know from my own pullied 55, an M5 wouldn't have much of a chance off the line.
