I still dont buy it. You M lovers have no credibility here-this is nothing but an old fashion flame war. Its just like the Z06 guys going over to the ferrari board and starting Schit. If it was so damn fast it would not be so damn slow in the 0-60 times.
As soon as some independent source reveals thy source I will belive it
It still doesnt change the fact that they are damn ugly.

That would have been awesome. It takes my car 8.3 to go from 60-130 with it in good running order, If that helps. I could never tell in your video what your car does..... the damn steering wheel was in the way!!!

You will never buy it, because you just don't get it. The M6 is a rear wheel drive car with a ton of horsepower. You think it is easy to hook up 500 hp? What does 0-60 really mean these days? All it shows is traction. The carrera S has been tested to a 3.9 0-60, does that mean it is faster than an m6? Hell no, the m6 traps 120 and by 3rd gear a carrera S would be fading fast.

Well......go race one. Who really gives a chit.
My car is probably a 10 second 0-60. But will beat a TT on the highway, who cares. It is a cool video and comparison. People aren't even talking about it anymore......dang....can't you see we already hijacked this thread

LOL...I already posted a independent source of it running faster than a Turbo S in a previous post.

Here's another test with it beating Gallardo and a Viper SRT-10. No matter how much you don't like it...the fact is it's faster than hell:

I own a Stage 2 TT by the way. But I appreciate ALL fast cars....even the ones I don't own.

Here is another one with I believe more accurate numbers, either way, the M6 is a beast from a roll and just as fast or faster than a gallardo or SRT-10:

True...the M6 would have only beaten the Turbo S by a couple of car lengths instead a couple of buslengths.

Some of you guys are worse than Corvette owners. Surprising.

For all the **** you guys gave Gustav in the beginning of the thread, I was hoping your response would be more significant than that.

Do you know how many M owners own 996s and vice versa? Its hardly a vehement rivalry, not to mention anything close to comparing a Z06 with a Fcar.

BTW, you clearly have no idea how the concept of gearing actually works.

Last generation grew up with ****ty valvetrains that hardly revved to 5k. Torque was everything. The average American rather squeal at a light than power through 120mph.

Boggles my mind I tell ya.

What also boggles it is that Oldguy, a Naval Engineer, believes a slow manufacturer claimed 0-60 time is indicitive of a cars performance throughout the speedometre. Must have been handing out engineering degrees back in the day.

LOL.

He would have been much smarter arguing that his GT3 would have made for a better comparison.

I am pretty damn smart But I smell a rat.
there are a ton of kids here pretending to be porsche owners and Bmw lovers and Z06 owners even though they are just being delivered. this happens all the time
to start flame wars. I still dont buy it period. We got 2 guys with 3 posts post a video in a poorly run test. Someone calls them on it and all the bimmer lovers come out of the wood work.
Notice there are no porsche guys here no more-just you kids.
Can you guys even drive?Nothing listed in your profile nothing to give you away.
Go back to your M boards and flame the Honda guys over there like you usually do.
Or are YOU guys the honda guys?No wonder this turbo site is considered not good for anything but bling.
Little proffesional flamers.
BTW shiggins Porsche is notorious for conservative times and hp numbers
