Video : 194 mph in M6

I am looking for someone I met at captree several weeks ago with a Rentech E55. I have an M6
He told me that he likes to do high speed runs so I have come to post this video here as an example of
the kind of video that I shoot.
This is an open invitation to come for a video shoot
if interested (NOT RACE)



Check out this most recent of videos I shot
Car is now fully delimited after the ECU reprogram by ICS and AA

Video Google
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...09152845&hl=en

Video YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFbnzgQiX1E

The car was not at max acceleration by the way. I actually ran out of road
Hope you enjoy this clip

I apologise to the moderator if this is off topic ,just ooking for somebody who I know is ameber of this board who was gracious enough to show me all the mods in his car

Look at that acceleration from 60-120 or so! No wonder my CLK55 felt like a Civic when I tried to catch up to an M5 on full acceleration

Your worst nightmare...
Man those cars are made to fly...Nice vid!, Although I am thinking of a really good excuse of what you would have told a trooper if he would have clocked you at 196mph,

Here is how the story goes...

Trooper: "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?"
Jidex: Hmmmm, maybe 110..120....
Trooper: "Sir , you were doing 196...hold on let me check my Gun i don't think that is a correct reading...is your speedometer Ok...
Jidex: officer I am telling you I was legally doing maybe 90, just a little sprint run...that's all.
Trooper: "Sir, I will let you slide this time, I think my radar gun might have been a bit defective..."



Then again after doing 120+ in a car like that...rule of thumb, never stop, keep going. lol!


heheheh, Did you guys check out the acceleration from 60-120, just incredible!

Likewise me with the AMG's
The E55AMG is just simply a ROCKET....no if's or buts about it.

Thanks for your comments

Beleive it or not ...the M6 is faster than a an M5 stock for stock comparison of course.

The M6 is particlularly stable at high speed and has a particlularly mean 3rg gear pull between 80-100 mph

Jidex,
Nice meeting you as well. You have a very nice car as well. Truth be told, I was very close to buying one.. very close. Couldnt wait for it to arrive though. Now that I have my E55, I can't let it go...
I definitely want to do some high speed runs. Maybe on Saturday? A buddy of mine has an M5 and he will probably be interested in getting in on the action as well..

We can do a shoot once the weather really warms up
I'll bring along a friend of mine with a delimited M5...really cool guy..plus he has a camera mount aswell. We'll make a really good video
I have many more videos that I'll upload over time
Great linking up again....I can understand your reluctance to part with the E55 Rentech...I'd feel the same way looking at your ride
I want to see how it runs at high speed giving the diferent gearing and power band
The M6 seems to excel between 5500rpm and 8250 and its definetly a different vehicle above 100 mph. The strongest pulling gear is 3rd

Looking forward to the vid
I'll Pm you my cell

Yes. it is a different vehicle above 100mph. I drove one in South Carolina on the BMW test track. Third gear is a beast. In another month Englishtown reopens and I will be running my car down there. I should have some videos then.

I actually short shifted Peak rpm is 8250 rpm
If you look at the rpm I really should've kept it in 6th until it hit about 185 mph ( which I have done before)
But all the same hitting 180 in 6th was sweet
the car has a Heads-Up-Dusplay which I was watching
I got kind of amazed whenI saw 188...the 190..then 192 and still accelerating on the HUD
It really is a video for the ages for me though as I won't be doing this again any time soon

Glad you liked it

I migt post some of my other videos now that I know you like the videos
