From what i hear too, its a fully built motor but still runs 3.45 gears. But runs on a weld drag wheel... we will see. Makes 499whp 4100lb race weight.
yeah probably Weld RT-S's like 2SS's, i believe they're the only drag wheel that'll fit over the brembos (besides bogarts).

i also arranged a race between my buddies 2010 SS and a 2013 GT 5.0. The SS is tuned but otherwise bone stock, the 5.0 is bone stock. For this particular race, my money is on the SS. He has 3 years experience with that car... the 5.0 has only had it for 2 months.

There's actually a new 15" drag rim that fits over the Brembos.
Came out a week after I bought my 17"s.

I felt ******* cheated.

Tell him Evolve is the best bang for the $$ Ill see what vids i can dig up. M6s are heavy, but the V10 LOVES topend. they dont do 1/4 racng good, but definitly formidable on rolls..

He also needs to be aware that he needs to be set in max MDM mode ect. I cant recall exactly, but the different settings DO affect HP. somewhere in the 10-15hp range per setting

I say Evolve over the others because i have experienced their tuning firsthand. price is in line with competitors, but the tuning itself is way above the rest. They refine all aspects, not just for max HP. he wont be dissapointed in it.

In fact, Evolve is actually most sought after to retune BMWs running competitors hardware (supercharger kits) and the reviews are phenominal.

I guess both. Dropping that kind of $$$$ in mods to pull a Bone Stock C6Z...not too impressive.

Also claiming "bolt-ons" is misleading because he has EXTENSIVE mods including internal work. Your average intake, exhaust, and tune M6 is not going to pull a C6Z.

Still a SICK car, but I'd prefer an M5.
