Cant fathom going this fast on a public road.

holy crap. did he say 199 mph??

Should I be surprised at the outcome, or not?

No frikkin way the M6 beat out a Z06... Just how modified was it?

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

2006 BMW M6 Mods are:
Carbon air filters removed
K & N stock filter replacement
Supersprint Headers
Supersprint Cats
Superprint X-Pipe w/ SS Resonator
Supersprint Sport Mufflers
AA Cam ECU Tune
3.91 Dinan Differential
Schrick Kelleners cams (made no power gain on the dyno)
Evosport Pulley

(M6 with mods - 480 whp - about 560-570 hp to the flywheel (M6 Curb Weight - 3,908 lbs.) 7 spd SMG tranmission.

2007 Corvette C6 ZO6 - Completely Stock
(published at 505 flywheel hp - but puts down about 440 whp - which is probably around 530ish flywheel hp)(C6 ZO6 Curb Weight 3132 lbs.) 6 spd manual transmission.

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.

holy shit... I know that guy. Used to have a sick ass Supra back in the day. Yeah that's a nutty video too.

My guess is smg versus good ole shiftin!

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:

ehh~

i'd hate to think how much was spent on that m6. and that's waaaaay toooo fast, even for capable vehicles, on open roads

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

190 is way to fast, i would be pissing my pants at that speed

THe M6 is a fast car.....ugly, but fast!

I dont think the Z06 was trying, stock dont they run mid 11's?

I havent been impressed with the hp gain from mods on M models(referring to the M3) I dont know much about the new v10

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.

Dude, don't tell your mom that. She'll throw your dad out a window

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO MY BABY!"

did he miss a gear or granny shift. or jump a gear

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.

mrproul

01 Z06 with a reflash < 200mph

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.

Best avatar ever, fsttyms!

What assholes! So irresponsible.

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.

hmm.. this just in... video poster owns both cars... discuss.

Maybe its kilometres

must have missed the "about" in that post.

Heh heh, I suppose I did.

m6 an ugly car? i actually like it a lot... haha that's just sick... so much power.. makes us look so slow haha

that guy got some balls to race like that.. 190+mph? holy crap...

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.

Not really
