The winner was the 997. The M6 couldn't put the power down so they named it a car with very much power and that's about it. The aston won in the looks department (i think it looks the best too) so based on their review the M6 came out in the 3rd place. Who listens to clarkson anyway?
Some UK friends i have seen the show, not myself so these are their words. It will come out as a torrent file probably tommorow or in 2 days so check out www.finalgear.com or www.mininova.org (tv shows / UK or Top gear section).

Kind'of a small SPOILER so don't read if u hate stuff like that...
Yup I left it going over night and just watched it. They tested on a mountain road and it was raining like hell so not a real point IMO. I'm surprised about the aston time compared to the M6. Something was seriously wrong there. I mean come on... 150kg weight diff. in favor of the Aston but 127hp in favor of the M6 and they put out the same time??? Either Aston's intensive Nurburgring testing has payed off or it's BS!
Ooh, in the end Clarkson said he would take the M6 just because of all that power
