E55 vs. M6

Saw my first M6 today at a stop light. We both had a car in front of us so it was no go. Temp. was in the 40's and I've had a huge problem with traction, even with ESP on, when temp. drops below 55. Car actually feels to strong, if that's possible. I tested conditions before I saw M6 by flooring car at 25 and tires just spun and ESP killed engine.

Anyway, how do you think I would have done from the dig to about 70? I think I would have gotten beaten badly because of traction problems.

To 70mph you would have probably got him. If you have problems with traction when it's cold out, don't floor it. Try feathering it a bit.

0 to 70... it is all about (reaction time). The US LC is not that great and if he gets the time to set it up it can be close. But is he hits the M button and sets the transmission to S6, it would be too close to call. Stock vs Stock, they are both low 4's.

BTW: Those type of races really don't mean anything, since they are so limited.

from a roll to 150 don't even waste your gas the M6 will smoke you and me.

Unless you have Stage 1, but you really need stage 2 to stay ahead.
