Well, whats the best tank, I would like to say Leopard 2A6 mainly because of the engine (fuel efficient) and the Rheinmetall L55. What do you guys think.

M1Abrams, Challenger, L'Clair (sp), T-90S, Merkava Mk 4.....I'd say the latest model of Leopard II Main Battle Tank.
Abrams are fast, T-90s and Leclerc are faster. Merkava 3&4 are faster offroad.
All modern tanks can hit moving targets while they're moving. Leclerc and Merkava4 can do it even better through FCS-integrated autotracker and T-90 even much better through bore-launched ATGMs.
German Rh120mm/L55 tungsten, israeli-improved 120mm GIAT tungsten and russian 125mm BM-44 U-Ni-Zn-alloy rounds have the same power through higher velocity (1750-1800 m/s instead of Abrams 1650 m/s)
And in HEAT-rounds soviets always led anyway, their new tandem charge HEAT-round with DU-liner has 800mm RHA-penetration.
I think, what gives me the choice of Leopard, besides the german history of good tank design, is their ability to deploy infra-decoys and smoke screens to hide from enemy tanks and heat seeking missiles.

Neither! The Challanger 2 is the worlds best tank. Never been lost in battle to the enemy. Only time when one has been damaged was when one fired on another at point blank range. Has the worlds best armour and the worlds best gun.
Only US studies conclude the US tanks are the best ( probably because they dont think other countries have them ) but the rest of the world belive Britain and Isreal have the 2 best tanks in the world. Put it this way, no insurgent has even scratched a Challanger 2 but I here they are quite good at inflicting damage on a Abrams. Prove my point? I think it does.

Well comparing all the tanks would be the best method of determining the best in the world. Further you need to define the criterium that you are comparing the tanks on and what makes a tank the best in the world.
