Default lost badly to M6 Grand Coupe

My Friend and I raced from a stop light to stop light, When the twin turbo on his M6 kicked in I was looking at his tail. We need more power. What can I do? May be GTR!!

They run a 12 second QM. Not a high-12 like we do. Big difference. They trap around 120+ in the QM. Such a monster.

That's odd. How many car lengths did you lose by... the m6 grancoupe weighs about 4400lb, which is 600lb more than the F, but it is 560hp w/ 500tq....shouldn't have been a blowout

also...the M6 has launch control. the predictability of LC vs the unpredictability, maybe lack of launch experience is a HUGE factor in a stoplight to stoplight....

They're actually 600+ hp. The previous E60 gen could be beat with FBO IS-F, but the new gen has too much HP. You can get an AMG E63 with the AWD version and beat that M6.

I feel you. I killed an Audi S4 this morning on the way to work but there's no way in hell I'd step to a M5/M6. Thats on another level.

I give respect where it's due, the M6 gran coupe is a monster, but seriously I wouldn't feel bad, we're talking about an MSRP of nearly $115K, which makes it almost double that an ISF.....is it worth that much?
