So same ball park as a loaded 991 S...interesting...

Why wouldn't you compare an M6 to a Maserati or MB? I'm sure the M6 will kick most of the listed cars arses and eat them for lunch, at two-thirds of the price.

drop the driver assistance and save $1900

Car makers are getting smarter and smarter everyday. Instead of lowing the prices on the markets other than USA, they rise the prices in USA, so now consumers in other countries can't be whining about the price difference as much as before.

DARK_M3 · 05-29-2012, 08:37 PM

How much does it weigh?

1MOREMOD · 05-29-2012, 08:49 PM

4255 lbs for the Coupe. ~100lbs lighter than the M5, shares the same engine. BMW claims 0-60 in 4.1 sec and they're usually on the conservative side.

Very true.
But still not even close to what European people pay.

My impression was that a large part of the high prices paid for luxury cars in other markets was due to extremely high import taxes. (If the US keeps Obama for another four years, we might see the same as part of his redistribution of wealth plan.

)

I'd imagine we're probably also seeing higher prices due to the relatively weak dollar.
