Damn, their work costs an arm and a leg but you get results. Any details on the car? I assume your name is the same one here as on m5board? I could probably just do a search then

 

Did you ever get that beast on the dyno?

 

Simple arithmetic: What is 155 x 1.6 ?

 

The 155 mph limiter doesn't work very well. I hit 170+ in my M3 when it was stock and also in my M5 when it was stock (although the speedo is a bit off).

The M6 is far faster than a stock M3 and considerably faster than a stock TT. It's trap speed of 120 shows that.

 

Nope. I've been having too much fun driving.
Also, The dyno guy won't call me back. He's only open thursdays and fridays. I have raced a few cars(The entire supercharged mustang crew) and we have decided that the car is atleast 750rwhp.
It hasn't been beat yet. We are filming a run with a Hyabusa(stock) in the next week or so. On paper, he runs a full second slower from 60-130, but who knows in the real world. Also, he's a buddy of mine, so no hard feelings either way. We have to go from a roll, or he will slaughter me.

 

Face it, guys: the 996 Turbo is a 5 year old car, and A LOT HAS CHANGED IN THE PAST 5 YEARS. Remember when 350hp in a sedan was a big deal? I'd be seriously disappointed in BMW if the M6 wasn't faster, its competition is the 997 Turbo.

I'm very curious to see the video vs. the 996 with Ruf 550 conversion, it should help me decide whether to mod my Turbo or not.

 

Cool, i would love to see videos of your car. I remember seeing some speedo videos.

Wish we were nearby so we could have a friendly run.

 

I wonder if there is going to be potential horsepower left in the M6? I don't even want to know how much a set of headers would cost!!!
For a while when the E39 M5 came out, the only company that made them charged 8k!!!!

 

Not to much horsepower will be gained NA. Supersprint has already developed headers, they are testing them. The price won't be outrageous and nothing near what Dinan charges for the E39.

Eisenhaus is also making headers and has already developed their full exhaust.

Gpower gets 550 hp with a chip (I don't know how reliable that is, that is their stated number I have seen no dyno's) but that is what they claim.

Rdsport has a chip that gains 30 hp, definitely believable with a raised redline to 8500 rpm which is the fuel cutoff anyway.

Gpower also supposedly will have a 5.7 liter conversion which will net 650 hp, NA.

 

That would be fun. Those speedo videos were off. The supercharger seal was leaking into the MAFS, Intake, all through the throttle bodies. It took a while to really figure out what the deal was. Ended up being a Vortech problem. The car traps in the mid 120's and with the gearing it has now. tops 190. The Saudi has 3.15 gears and has seen 210mph. Also the car is getting a carbon fiber driveshaft anyday now. The last driveshaft snapped the U Joint at the track.

 

Sticky - You do realize the video of your race against the C32 with the chicken phone ringing is famous, right?.

 

I'm modest I love that video, finally proved all the C32 guys wrong, the m3 is faster stock for stock

I'm glad people still watch it, although my forum is down right now as my hard drive in the server crashed so I am wasting some time over here

 

Awesome, new vids please!

Wow you actually have traction with gears topping 190? I have alot of trouble now, it must be hell for you.

Tell us some of your track visit outcomes!

 

Josh - I still wish we could have run each other...S/C M3 to S/C M5.

 

Ya...that vid was used many a time to shut those guys up.
