Nice runs and I thank you so much for rolling up the window as you race, so many idiots leave the window down and all you hear is wind noise! Very nice runs. Get that bad boy to the track before you mod it!

I wish I can send these videos to GUSTAV'S ( m5board guys ) and show them what a real world race looks like. Watching stage 4 e55's get walked hard by M6's isn't funny anymore .

It's brand new with 8k on it. Trust me he know's how to drive it. His last car was an M5. Plus what the hell is so hard about driving an smg? You downshift to the right gear with your finger tip and floor the throttle and make sure your in p500 m mode. No talent needed. Especially from a 60 mph roll.

Dude it sounds good. I will let the other guys know. We can do a Mercedes vs BMW day. Oh and 1 Lexus ISF

Trust me, alot of people have hard time driving there M5/M6 the right way. Traction off, S6, p 500 sport mode, not just p 500, shifting at the right point without hitting the rev limiter, etc.
A stock C63 is just not as fast as a E55 or M5/M6 period. I have seen it first hand too many times.

nice vids. it looked like the 55 won every time by a nose or so.
u guys should take a trip down route 1 for an away game. i'd love to run that modded C63 or anything else really.

Makes total sense and duplicates both the M5s I have come across. So either every M5 owner does not know how to drive or the E55 is a hair quicker than an M5 which is what the video above and others floating around show.

So have I. I drove the car dude(c63). My friend with the C63 went 12.3 @115mph at Atco and my friend with the M6 went 12.3 at 117mph at etown. There very close up until 150+. He ran a 12.5 with his old M5 so it's not a major difference. I don't know how fast you think the M6 is supposed to be but from what I have seen that is what they run. Low 12's. And the traction control @60mph is not much of a factor on the M6. I have driven has plenty of times to know. Bottom line, All of these cars are close in a race.
If a E55 is neck and neck with a M5, a M6 is a littel overall quicker, and the same E55 has beaten 3 C63's in stock trim, so i cant see that happening, so either the car is not 100% or the driver isnt driving it right.

just for my info..
what was the ambient temps during your runs.. I'm guessing high 40's or low 50s?
One thing is for sure.. 55k cars love cool air... and IAT's don't really become a problem at that temp. However anything over 80F and man it start killing power the faster you go.
I'm guessing if you run this M5 in the summer months.. outcome will slightly favor the M5.
Thanks for the video, and be safe.
