is the M6 the replacement for the M5? or the M3?
im confused.... both the M3 AND the M5 are both 0-60 in under 5 seconds. so where does the M6 stand?

The origninal M6 was designed to beat porsche in the Vairious Racing series they competed in.
and I still like the old M6 better.

Rep Power: 0 Too heavy. 0-60 in 5.3? With the kind of horsepower that thing is pulling. The lateral g's are impressive, .91-.94 is Porsche territory, so at least they compete there in that regard, but those 0-60 times are nothing to call home about, you'll have kiddies in their SRT-4s telling everyone how they beat an M6, that'd be rough...
did you guys see that video of the guy testing out the 6 series? there was a side shot, and when the trunk was opened, it looked like a porsche.
ok, that was random. sorry guys, my brain is messed up from finals

Rep Power: 583 you say the title as if its the very first m6 ever. im glad they brought it back, but it would have been better if the outside didnt have the new design. i hate the new designs.
