If you HAD to choose...
The Mercedes SL65 AMG or the BMW M6 conv.

didnt think i'd say it but i'd take the SL65 if i had the choice.
The manner in which the SL65 accelerates makes you believe that it might not be powered by an internal-combustion engine at all. The tidal wave of torque bathes the accelerative experience as if a jet turbine were involved. It feels like acceleration piled atop acceleration at an exponential rate. Several experienced drivers on the staff reported moments of I've-never-felt-anything-like-it.
As stupidly fast as the SL65 is, we cannot hide our enthusiasm for the M6 convertible on the drag strip. The surround-sound experience was uncommonly visceral. With the optional head-up display doing its part to make you feel like a fighter pilot, each pull of the shift paddle makes you feel as if you've triggered a guided missile as the M6 barks its tires and lunges ahead with every upshift.

SL65 for me. The M6 is not all that hot, and it basically loses in all the tests. But Edmunds beign their typical self, they still decide to say that the BMW is the better car. pffff

M6 isn't that great looking to me, when compared to the SL65 AMG. SL65 all the way.
