M6 and me...

Wow, I was really suprised that I kept up and M6. Had a run-in with 1 yesterday afternoon. They guy saw me first, pulls up next to me, and starts reving his engine (prolly downshifting). Sucker was pretty loud. We never really got it over 60 mph, but the whole time I was either right on him, or I was about to walk away. I thought these cars were a lot lighter than the M5? I don't think the owner was too happy though, because I waved at him and smiled, and gave the thumbs up, and he just looked away.

E55
I am so happy that I got my deposit back for an M6 and bought my E55 last year. Having said that, he probably would have walked you above 120mph.....

Steve,

I think I would agree. Not knocking the M6 at all, it's a fantastic piece of machinery. I wonder how it would do against my chipped 911.

How does your E do vs your "chipped" 911?

With a brutal launch on the 911, I can get about 1-2 full lengths on the start. But that's about it though. I can't get my wife to drive the E at higher speeds to compare with the 911. I've always been very curious as to what would happen between these 2 cars at over 100 mph. do you have any experience with this?
