I agree with you on wanting an M6. It is sex on wheels.

Yeah that M6 pulled the M5 really well.

Supposedly it's the first car with a Carbon Fiber Roof from the factory. that's badass

Would like to see one run against a new Z06 from a roll

can't wait to see some 1/4 times...not mag 1/4 times....if the E55 is a low 12 car and IF the new M5 really can beat the E55 by 4-5 cars from that one video this damn M6 may give the Z06 a run for its money. It wouldn't suprise me if it runs 122 mph through the 1/4.

The V10 sounds great.
I don't think one can go wrong with either car.
Dunno if I'd replace my E55 with one, yet. But I wouldn't rule it out either.

Something does not make sense here. There is only about 150lbs diff btwn the 2 cars. Although the M5 had a passenger..so make that 330.

I agree - something doesn't quite make sense. The M6 is only 180 lbs lighter than the M5, and actually has a slightly worse Cd. Same engine, same tranny. Doesn't seem like 180 lb would make that much of a difference. Maybe I'm missing something because the carmags are reporting times for the M6 that are close to SL 65 times in the 0-200 kph runs.

The M5 has dynoed 530hp a couple of times. Heres one.

So its likely that M6 has maybe around 550?

Both cars have same engine so dyno should be similar. Weight, Drag and possibly differential gear ratios should be only differences.

Also, don't you just love the sounds of the quick-match revs on the downshifts from the TRUE paddle shifter. *SIGH* I wish my E55 had that...
