Have YOU personally driven any of the new 6.3 AMG models?? If you have NOT, then do not say that it's a highway car and not a driver's car.

Just because the CL63 isn't a "track" car doesn't make it less desirable. In fact, if the only argument for the M6 is because it's more of a track car, then those buyers are WAY better off spending their money elsewhere.
I have driven the CLK 63 black. Fantastic car, but way too expensive. Blows away the M6 (which I have also driven) in every category.

These 2 cars are similar in almost every performance metric. But hey the M6 is a nice target to hit. MB couldn't do it with the AMG series so they need to create a double secret brand called "Black".....

Nice marketing story, I am sure BMW could kill "Black" if it chose to acknowledge MB.

It goes back and forth.... the Black series is Mercedes' "track-ready" car, and therefore more of an answer to BMW's M.

Mercedes' AMG and BMW's M build two similar car, but fill different niches.

The original discussion, the CL63 vs. the M6, isn't even a fair direct comparison. The CL is more in line with a non-existent model in BMW's lineup, which would be the 8-series. The 6-series more directly compared to the CLK.

I would stack up any BMW CSL car against AMG Black anyday.

BTW, I agree with your CL vs. 8 series comparison.

Wow, don't think I would have passed up the GT3. I love the M6 in every way except looks! And if I am spending that kind of cash she needs to have it all.
