I think more or less the same, remember that M6 is only 2 wheel drive so it has less grip. And it'll have metal folding roof so weight difference won't be that big.

They might do a carbon-fiber roof for the M6 (like the M3) Hopefully this will be able to make the M6 fall right between the SL63 and SL65

It still has bangle butt, of course I know it still in testing mode. If they could redesign this car, they could a facelift of the 7 series since its ugly.

excatly like Piotre k said, and don`t forget about gearbox too, it will be very fragile if they are putting SMG (DKG) inside! because of torque in all ranges, this is not hi-revving NA engine anymore! and don`t tell me that they know what they are doing, in prevoius M6 gearboxes were a great mistake!

The M5/M6 gearbox only had problems at low speeds (parking, around town etc). It was fine when it was being driven hard, as is the point of buying a BMW over a Mercedes. The M5 would be a beast with that engine, the M6 with it would be quite a sight... and does the folding hard roof make this a more direct competitor to the Merc SL? The 6 has rear seats, but aside from that... Can't wait! =)
