Picked up an 08 M6 this morning, white on black, all options cept heated steering wheel and high beam assist.

I still love the benz and will miss that torque, completely different machine. Exhaust note is exotic, steering and brake feel are leagues ahead. More to come after break in is over...

Very Nice I almost purchased one a couple years ago before I bought my SL55. Do you still have the SL500?

Sharkster

I like the M6. But it's just a coupe..., while the SL is 2 cars in one.

m6 is a monster , F** the torque , you'll put some minor mods and it'll hang with 65's on the highway , i think it's not a looker , but sick car overall congrats

MikeRPA

sharkster ye , but its a 4 seater

Murtaza

A few months ago I struggled with the decision myself, both great cars...still have the 500... for a few more weeks (lease end).

Definitely will miss the 55. It's a great car, much different animal then the M6 though.

I'm not a family man either but those back seats will come in handy in emergencies

amg_rocket

Will it hit 190 MPH like your SL55 did ?

URnext

SL55 Vs M6.......Cant go wrong with either one. Like Murtaza says, you never know when you are going to need those "back seats"

Murtaza

This thing pulls much harder up top, I think it'll hit 200 in the same stretch

M-bENZ

I agree....I used the back seat from my GS all the time

M6 is a good car...enjoy!

TMC M5

Beautiful car! Are you planning any mods? I could have sworn I saw you checking in on the Dinan stroker threads over on m5board..

Good luck and enjoy it!!!

congrads bro, amazing car. cant go wrong with either one. but i do love its handling

Murtaza

Haha, that stroker is great but 40k...

I just was checking over there a lot to learn as much as I can about what I would be getting into Mods planned for power, pulleys, scoops, ECU, not much really

Just came back from romping around, I love this thing...

MURTAZA did you drive SL63?
M6 is a Monster but i dont like it inside vs SL. Anyway congrats

Heh forget SL63, did you consider SL65!!

slavik

congrats...m6 is a beast uptop... supersprint headerback exhaust +pulleys+ tune...car will be insane!!

Murtaza

It crossed my mind but a 3rd SL, I need something different. I do agree the interior on the SL is better then on the 6, a trade off I had to take and I'm loving the M6 so far. It's getting better and better the more I drive it

alx

yes, the m5/m6 have a banzai top end.. well over 200 mph and rev-limited .. you simply hit redline in 7th gear at 8250 rpms.. at very high speeds you can chase sl65s even in stock form. just dont try to from anything less than 120...

not much under 3000 rpms, but vary racy once you wind it up.

suspension, steering, brakes feel like a lightened-up version of the clk black series. spot-on.

learn how to shift the smg fast - there is a touch to it (shift-lift throttle a bit-floor). once you master it you will rifle off very quick shifts with the smg.

headers, cats and catback will give you about 35-40 rwhp or so...

i had my experience for about an year and a half with an m5 and it was an absolute blast (i got prolly the first e60 m5 on the east cost)

enjoy.

Congrats on the M6 Murtaza. Any chance you will drive that up to your place in Toronto?

Carl Lassiter

Congrats. Remember when you were thinking about this and was surprised you went with another SL. Dod you trade in or do a separate transaction? Congrats again and you've made the right choice with the work of art that is the S85.

TMC M5

Glad to hear you are enjoying the new ride! That is still a very decent package. Yeah that $40K price tag is a little hard to swallow.

@ Mike: M6 not a looker??....you must be desensitized. That car is straight fierce.

Awesome choice bro...Im jealous and I think white might be the best choice for a M6 coupe.

Wheels or keeping it stock?

BoBcanada

Pm me what kind of stretch is that? I want to stretch my gixxer

Murtaza

I went with that SL because the white M6 I was working a deal on didn't have the full leather but the cheapo plastic dashboard, then a pristine black on red SL55 came up and I was sold on that immediately. I've always wanted a black on red SL55, oh well...done with that now

It was a separate transaction.

Work of art is what it is, I'm on day 3, around 160miles on her, every day gets better and better



Thanks man, I love it. I'm not sure about wheels yet but mods will be coming soon

My Canadian brethren, I don't live in Toronto anymore nor do I have property there
