Edmunds.com take the BMW M6 Convertible Up Against Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Over at Edmunds,

Chris Walton, the chief road test editor takes the 2007 BMW M6 Convertible
up against the 2007 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG.

"Only
later did we discover that not only is the SL65 ridiculously swift, but it can
also stop and corner like we expected the M6 would.

The M6’s high-revving
engine might have less output than the turbocharged SL’s, but the BMW V10 displays
a wider range of talent. The effective fun zone begins at 2,000 rpm and extends
to 8,250 rpm, and there are seven gear ratios with which to play. The SL’s 6,000-rpm
limit means there’s but 4,000 rpm in which to have fun with just five gears. In
a canyon duel, we found the Mercedes shifting more often and at inopportune moments,
where the BMW could hold a gear a little longer when we needed it."
