Don't race any M6's.

Car and Driver just tested an M6 and it's trap speed in the q/m was 121 mph! That's 997 TT territory.

Brabus E55

listen to this..........my 17year old gf is buying one

Brabus E55

but you also realize tht the M6 has launch mode and thats probably why the speed was so high

Mad TKD

launch mode doesnt have anything to do with a high trap. A 60ft does but not a high trap.

What the high trap is telling me is that the car has good power.

Brabus E55

but how is that, the car has almost 200 torque less than power

jtc55

why would u be crying? u should be happy b/c that means u will probably drive it also

Fikse

121MPH? I'll belive that when I see it at the track.... don't forget, magazines always do some "correcting", and they sometimes get "ringers".... you won't see stock M6's pulling 121MPH at your local dragstrip.....

jtc55

i wouldn't go that far as to say E55 should not dare race any M6. in the real world any E55 could take a M6 in a street race. but when triple digits hit, M6 should be pulling away slowly.

I agree.

RJC

The last M6 R&T tested did 118 in the q/m.

With respect to the ringers, the same would hold true for the first 03 E55's tested showing 116 in the q/m

looks like it's open season on M5 & M6's. happy hunting boys! please keep me up on the number of //M badges you collect. thank you.

The M6's are reported to be consistently quicker than the M5's...do they weigh that much less or are there other factors?

Is this a joke! Man up!!!

Don't race any M6's. Give me a break. I can't wait to run one. Out of the whole I could porobably beat one on foot. No way No how will an M6 take an E55 in the 1/4 mile. If your car is tuned, faah get about it.. The question is how many car lengths will you beat it by..

Out of the whole the M5 is quicker than the M6. Check out Road & Track, February 2006, page 71. The M6 isn't faster until 0-80 and then it is only by 1/10 of a second. R&T achieved a 12.4 on both cars in the 1/4 mile. The M5 trapped at 115.8mph and the M6 trapped aat 118.1 mph. Both cars had launch control which you can't get in the US.

I will agree these are very powerful cars above 120 mph. But so is mine!!

PS.
I had a deposit on an M6 and bought an E55 instead. Couldn't have been happier. I have gotten run my car up to 145mph and enjoyed it all the way from 0-145. Don't know what I would do if I had to start at 120mph to really appreciate the car. Run it to 200mph?

pls let's all acknowledge Steve's acumen on this subject. like i said-HAPPY HUNTING. game limit on m6's is 20, i believe. m5's...well, who cares maybe collect a few badges for laughs and giggles..

Brabus E55

haha yeah right............i drove her 325CiC once and i got yelled at by her dad for like 3 hours.......imagine if i was driving her 120k m6 wiht 507BHP

m52e55

Steve...believe we would need the 11-99 Foundation plates on at those speed limits, no?

Brabus E55

i really would like to run an M6 in the K8..........

Brabus E55

whats the 11-99 foundation, on last months Modified Luxuary and Exotics there were 3 murci's that had those plates on it

m52e55

i think i will walk a m6 today if i can find one puttering somewhere. just jokes-not worth the effort.

11-99 Foundation is the California Hghwy Patrol Foundation/Charity that is in place for fallen officers' families who are killed in the line of duty or have passed due to illness where the families need assistance. if one makes a lifetime member contribution you get a license plate frame and a plate/badge inside a leather cover with your name/serial number and date of contrib. it is believed that if you are a nice guy and operating above limits that the CHP's will acknowledge your involvement in the relief fund and maybe/sometimes be a bit more forgiving of your exploits. so it is believed anyway...these plates are on at least a quarter of every exotic here in Marin/SF. believe contirb. is ~$1.5k and you need a reference from current member or CHP as a recommender for you apllication.

Brabus E55

will that help me get away with speeding

m52e55

so its is believed by some...

Brabus E55

haha, ill have my dad look into it

rflow306

Actually Fiske's car ran several 116 to 117 bone stock trap speeds at moroso. My car ran high 114's bone stock with the heavy weight 20 inch Brabus wheels. So in reality 116 is nothing out of the ordinary for our cars.

MB Fanatic

I eat M5 and M6's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the CLS55 with K4.

Like others have said, the 55K cars will beat the V10 in a street race for sure, but after 100mph its over for us.
