I expected the opposite, but I guess with a long list of mods to the M6 its possible. I didn't realize there were that many mods for an M6

The numbers don't really add up. The difference in power is small compared to the difference in weight. I know the m6 has a pretty short rear end, but even so. And how is the car still capable of such speed with that kind of a diff.

the M v10 engine is really underrated and extremely capable in higher speeds above say 130 mph...Throw in all the mods,smg and you get this result.

at the 38 second mark, that gorgeous white m6 really left him:

My guess is that in this case the SMG was shifting faster.

put the mods that the M6 has on it on the Z06 and there would be no stoping it. my dad has an 01 Z06 and all he did was get the ecu reflashed from chevy and we were doing about 200 MPH coming back from LA. man that was nice at 200 with 3500 RPM's left in sixth gear and still wanting to pull. was just about the single most memerable experience in my life.

yeah i cant imagine going 190mph. did you see how fast they blew past other cars on the road. plus at 190mph for that long, you cover a lot of ground very quickly.

Yeah mom and dad don't talk so i think i will be ok. Thats funny my mom would say something like that.

So i saw an M6 the other day parking and i swear to you guys it was the oldest man driving this car. he had to have been as ugly as the car. well no accounting for taste i guess.

Not surprised by the outcome with that many mods. I bet a tune and cam in the Z06 and it would have been the other way around.

I agree. That first video is a little fishy, especially compared to the 2nd video. Dude says he gets 190 in the first video, I call BS. It would take him forever to get to 190, that's just the laws of physics. Road and track barely squeezed 190 out of a Murcielago recently, a car that weighs less and outslugs the M6 by 100 lb. ft. of torque.

Compare the two, especially the difference in time from 160 to 180. 7.89 sec in the first video and 15 sec. in the second? Something just don't add up.....

The numbers really dont add up, but a win is a win nontheless. But that z06 with some bolt ons and a cam would do the same to the M6.

I've driven my M about 130 on a nice, straight country road.

The difference between 100 and 130 is pretty staggering. I can't imagine what 190 is like!

there is no way they hit 190mph. It takes AGES to get up to that speed and far slower than what was shown in that video. Read the latest MotorTrend for an article on how difficult it is to get most car up to speeds like that.
