look up jidex's video of sleeperx and a highly modded m6. I can try to force my buddy with the m5 to post how bad I beat him but there's no video. I'm trying to arrange another meet with an m5 and m6 soon and i'll be sure to get videos of that.

Guys...You need to be paitient...I will do a VIDEO as soon as I fix my ECU !!!
I assume if moded M6 pass ME at around 140-150...them stock M6 wont pass ME earlier then 170-185...
But I also think M6 has higher TOP Speed...there is a vid on the net of M6 doing 335km (207 mph), the faster I've gone on my E55 is 325 (201 mph)...may be it could pull more but I was scared and road was turning...

I thought that was an M5 (not an M6) with headers and ECU? Maybe I'm wrong.

It depends whats the reason for "top speed"
Normally the reason is that there is no enough power to go any faster.
There is also reason that gearing is too short for that power-levels that car has.
I dont know what is the absolut top-speed for the E55K with stock gearings but i assume its more than 201mph.
E55Russ,
Before you mod anything further on your car, you should buy EVO-cooling kit or something like that, it helps you more than you know.
IAT-rising is the reason why M6 is passing you under long accelerations, not that gearing especially at your power-levels.
Vadim or Vrus or somebody who knows (and has the WORD in here) tell me that i am right (and prove it also for other forum-users)

Easier way to fix Intake Air Temperature Rising is buy a cooling-kit from EVO.

Or should we call that package for "murderer kit for high speeds"
i think Adam will give you a nice price for that kit.
gaining 15-20hp like that says isnt the whole truth. dont look just absolute marketing numbers!!! you are gaining something like 100hp under long and hard acceleration ESPECIALLY with your mods.
With that kit, M6 has no chance at any speeds against you.

This is about the dumbest thread to date, but I did feel the urge to add to it. As it turns out, I got pulled today and happenned to have the Sony camcorder on display. While the cop was writing me up for not having proof of insurance and tinted front windows, we had a nice disussion on the legality of in car cameras. While such footage CAN be used as evidence in certain CRIMINAL cases, it in no way can be used against you for traffic tickets. All of those that want to turn us canyon runners in for scaring bicyclists, feel free. I'll provide the footage. You all need to quit all the conjecture and this thread and talk die.

[QUOTE=E55 RUSS;2114990]What mods does you car have ???
Russ,
I have a Renntech Stage 5. Like I said, I've done several pulls over 150 and a couple to 170. I've seen the Gustav video about 50 times and there is no way that M6 will hang, even if we start at 100. If there's any M6's in the So. Nevada area, I would love to put it to the test, with video of course.

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking there may be other differences between US and euro spec m cars besides launch control? Now I don't have any video, but I can assure everyone here that from a 65 mph roll, my BONE STOCK '06 pulled what had to be a bone stock (still had paper plates) M6 by 2-3 cars up to about 140 mph and he was NOT gaining anything on me. We both had 1 passenger. My car was very strong stock (435 RWHP), but was COMPLETELY stock at the time. Even with only the K-1 I have now, that would have been ugly against the same car. I can't imagine how bad it would have been for my car with K-4 against the same M6. Maybe there are bigger variations between M cars than AMGs????

My mods listed below and my car makes around 620 Hp at
the crank...
Dont forget that driver is important as well...M6 goes faster in S6 manual mode the automatic one and on E55 you just mash the pedal and car does the rest...
Stock M6 is definately faster the stock E55 !!!
Will see...hopefully will do some testing this weekends but my tyres are getting bold
