Ekaz says to go with the MB since the AMG will stil have more torque
I agree, the M6 needs revs to perform and unless you want to go screaming around in 2nd gear @8000rpm then TORQUE is what pushes you in the back.

In real world flatten the pedal to overtake, torque is king. That's why the BMW diesels are getting such rave reviews, and (correct me if I'm wrong) but the 530D has more torque than an M5/6.

Performance of the M5/6 is better suited to track days and fast open roads for a long blast. If traffic is in the mix then it is not much quicker than some of our X5's (in gear acc, non launch control 0-60 etc)

Go and peruse the M5 owners boards here http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showforum=3

Having driven the M5 I am now perusing Mercs......
