Default M6 race this week end

i guess i have a M6 that thinks nothing can touch him around were we live...cape cod haha. this is what my friend over heard at the gym today and kind just laughed after being in my car vwich is a preaty fast street car around here i think its a 10 sec car but did 11.1 123mph. any one race one in a f-bod i think it will be a nice race. he'll have more of a chance from a roll i think i need some shift tuning soo. i have twice the tq. as him so he could catch me by the time my car tops out or close to 150 no need to race up to 150..should i be scared...

With a trap of 123 you will destroy him from a dig or a roll, I think they only trap 117-119 stock.

I pullled my friends exhaust/tuned new M5 as follows:

60 roll, me in 3rd (I coulda had 2nd for a second or so)
I pull a car immediately, shift, then maybe another half car after shift.
After winding out 4th, he had the half car back and my guess is he woulda pulled by in my mid-5th.

Those just keep on pulling and pulling where I woulda ran outta gear.

Coupes run 12.2-12.4 stock, so you are going to crush him with an 11.1. The convertible weighs about 4400 lbs.

Now there are people who drop weight, and do a bunch of bolt ons, so who knows. Do you know what mods he has, because the time he is claiming is not realistic stock.

Please hurt his ego. $105k car ;-) It takes alot of money to mod an M.

You should definitely crush him.

Do the M6's really trap 117-119?

Watch this M6 (modded) vs stock c6 z06. They race up to about 180mph.

Who is? Not the M6.

When the lead car shifts into an OD gear, the race is OVER. What is there to prove after that? Who has the highest top speed? An M6 coupe with the 7spd SMG will do 200mph.
