Here.

2nd race here with Launch Control.

BMW M6 vs. 911 Turbo. Both cars original. Rolllings start at 50 km/h when we cross some cones. We end the race at around 240-250 km/h, looks like the 911 Turbo driver finish to floor it a bit before me.

I think the "Bling" is set at 255 km/h.

Alright! Cool Video...looks like the Porsche gave up?

Gustav · 19th October 2005, 01:03

Maybe he did not. Well, yes he stopped floor it one or two seconds before me. Have one more with start from 0.

Amazing! The M6 is even faster than I imagined.

However, the aspect ratio is incorrect (squished), and can't be fixed with the awful Google Video player.

I realize it's still in beta, but I think the Google Video player is garbage. It's implemented in Shockwave, and has very poor quality resampling and very few controls. It also doesn't allow the video to be saved. Google des a lot of things very well, but video is not one of them (so far).

No offense intended to Gustav or others who have used it, but please consider alternatives with better quality and/or the ability to download.

Thanks,

Seems odd the M6 would pull that much ahead if even at all.

Gustav · 19th October 2005, 13:01

Jayspon, what are you basing that on?

Also, yes I did wrong aspect ratio. I think Ill try to change it, I mistakenly uploaded it in widescreen ratio.

Google is good since they are hosting it, and it is not possible to host larger quality files, it will be too much traffic. However more movies will come.

Quarter miles and 0-60 times.

0-60 times and quarte miles are not the only measuring there is... Here we do to 250 km/h. Also, why wouldnt a 507 HP, 4WD be faster than a 420 HP 4WD car?

Also, the upcoming ivdeo from standstill you seee that the Porsche leads below around 60 mph but when the M6 gets traction it is bye bye.

I'm aware thats not the only measureing stick but it's a good one none the less. The porche weights somthing like 3300 lbs the m6 around 3950, the porche has more tq. Also the M6 is rwd not 4wd. I'm not upset at it, I like the m6 thought about getting one, just don't expect it to beat a 911 turbo.
