Wow, you have 490rwhp? I didn't know the 63's respond to mods that well...awesome!


The M6 is clearly a faster car and the gap increases as speeds increase. The 6 speed manual is slower than the 7 speed SMG.

Its just a spike when the car shifts. The car doesnt make 490whp

The 65 can launch better (with a good driver of course) than the 55's as well.

My 63 is puttingdown 430-440 rwhp. The M6 is really designed for this kind of roll . I have seen a 63 pull the convert by a good margin!!

In any car you have to know its strong points, the 63 light to light is a real winner, 1/8th 1/4 and 1/2 mile will be awesome , from a DIG excellent..

80+ MPH rolls against a lighter car with better gearing =DONE

I think your car did well considering you have a pano roof and started from such a high MPH.

Dirty Sexy is coming back!(OT) apologies.

Wow, I'm stupid

I feel like such a n00b...

Yeah, a 65 vs modded (pulley and basic crap) 55 will be driver dependent but two equal drivers should result in 65 pulling.

I think he meant 63s launch better. My 65 launches like crap but dominates Lambos with ease when rolling. Full LSD in future, AMG....

Ok, I think it is clear. The outcome was expected. At first I thought maybe my E63 is slower then it should be. This settles it for me. Thank you all.
