Let me preface this story with the fact that i have no video, sorry, but relative to the recent "Gustav" M6 videos I thought it appropriate since my car on paper makes as much HP as a healthy SL65. On the highway today i see a white M6 with Virginia tags....I slow down to let him pull up, he didnt go at first but finally took the bait and we went from about a 60MPH roll, after that we did multiple rollons all from over 60MPH and two ending at 160MPH....now according to theory I should be "out of my power band" and "out geared" as compared to the M6, especially if we started as high as 60+ Now I must say the M6 is a very fast car and i did experience its top end pull, other cars that trap in its range of 115-117 might not hang with this car up top, but that being said he was absolutely no match for my car anywhere in my power band at any RPM, I even lifted a few times because of traffic and was able to reel him back in and overtake with ease. Nothing but respect for the driver as he was a good sport, gave me the big thumbs up and we parted.

 

Not surprising since our tuned 600's have over 500 RWHP from around 3,800 to redline. That's a pretty damn wide power band. He would need a few additional gears to match the power your car is putting to the ground.

 

Good one Jay.
I wonder if he writes it up somewhere.
Gustav will ban his sorry butt from the M5 board.

 

lol, i wish we had more room to run

 

Nice run my Brutha!!!! BEAST!!! Where's Gustavitch? I'll still never figure out why modded MB's seem to run slower over there in Sweden,compared to the faster one's over here iin the U.S.?

 

to the bi-turbo V12

 

Tuned Bi-Turbo V12 vs N/A V10 what could possibly happen the only thing i can think of is top speed.

 

Please more details...how many car lengths etc...

 

well according to the m5board videos I should have been walked

id say on our one full pull from 60-160 i had 3 cars lengths and gaining

 

A video would have been entertaining.

 

I agree, unfortunately I dont travel with my camera ready to roll, but there will be some videos soon...just to entertain you Erik

 

VERY nice kill!~! Keep up the good work

 

Well Jay, thats nice and all but I'm not impressed because I know that above 195mph the M6 would have taken you due to its 7th gear

Next time try to get it on video so you can shove it in Gustav's face.

 

Ya Im not impressed either. You guys should of started at 215-220 mph. tHEN the m6 WOULD have definetly pulled you at about 300mph. WTF
Great run jason. M6 should be nuthin compared to your car.

 

An M6 would be no match for your car. Good kill.

 

Damn if you raced from a 30mph roll to same 160 it would've been VERRRY UGLYNice kill bra!
