not an easy question to answer, all depends on the driver, this car is crazy hard to launch. M6 more then not is slower then the A4 on the track too... under 400RWHP A4 GTOs can hit 12.5's at 110~112 all day long where as 400RWHP+ M6 cars might have a hard time breaking into the 12's... I'd say there would be potential for low 11's around 120MPH or so

I'm hoping for mid 11's and upper 120's

so far, I've gotten my near stock pig M6 to 13.002 @ 106.8 and that's on 400 treadware tires
(and I've got 341rwhp)

I'll be going to the track for the first time around mid January, putting down 517rwhp...hoping for mid to low 11's once I learn how to launch. I'm in an A4 with a Maggie.

That kind of power is wasted without the proper suspension upgrades. Gotta get traction first. Enough hard runs on the stock IRS...........well, things can go 'boom' rather quickly.

The stock IRS is stout. It will not go BOOM that easy. I know guys running 650RWTQ on them for over a year with no problems... now the tranny on the other hand lolz.

assuming you don't spend the entire first 660' spinning, I could almost guarantee it'd be higher than that.

Seeing as how I got 3-4 friends making 500-600 RWHP and trapping 121-124MPH I would say my guess would be about right on.

+1...Those number sound about right. I don't think there is any way you could get it to trap much higher without some serious weight reduction.

I think it might depend on how they're making the power too....

a roots blower car is probably not going to be able to match a centrifugal or turbo car's top end charge.

I as well have several friends making ubergobs of hp that have broken numerous rear end parts. There was a reason Ford stopped putting IRS in the Cobras.....IRS + lots of hp = no traction and lots of broken parts.

Stock IRS here.. and zero issues.

only thing i did to the suspension was add drag bags.
