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

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.....

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?

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.

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

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.
