BMW M6 VBox performancetimes 60-130 mph

M6Koo · 15th August 2009, 10:23

Here is my VBox time to share:

0-60: 4.0
55-110: 6.25
50-110: 6.59
60-130: 9.88 (2 shifts)

I only had one sucessful 60-130 run which I made with 2 shifts. I made two more attempts but even with my raised 8400rpm limiter, I could only get up to 129.89 in 4th. I am pretty confident I can get the time down since 9.88 wasn't my best attempt. I shifted too late from 3rd to 4th. Also, it's hard to get good 0-60 time on this car especially with a tune. The throttle is so sensitive that it's hard to get a good launch. I definitely need more practice.

I have the following mods: RPI Ram Air Kit, Block Off Plates, RPI Pulley, RPI GT Exhaust System (Sec 1, 2, 3), Powerchip/RPI ECU Tune.

Nicely done=!! What was the slope %?

Good point. I didn't look at the elevation data until now since the road looks pretty flat to me. But to my surprise, I was actually running on an ~15% incline! I started at -53.251 feet and ended at -45.86 feet. So my time should be much better than 9.88. I guess I gotta find a flatter private road.

By the way, temperature was at about 70F.

Even better!! You should submit that time to the mods on 6speed.com anyway and get on the list, it the fastest bolt on M6 I've seen, nice job.

Just got a new 60-130mph result of 9.62sec.

65F and running the other direction this time. 0.3% decline.

What was your technique for launching? Drop clutch, or LC?

M6Koo · 14th September 2009, 19:35

Best 0-60 times were by using U.S. LC. I later realized that I was doing the LC wrong. I just pushed the gas pedal half way. When I do that, it's so hard to control the throttle after I let go of the shifter. The correct way to do it is to press the gas pedal all the way down until the kick-down button is pressed, and then lift off the gas pedal a little. After letting go the shifter, just got to modulate the throttle a little and then floor it. This way, I get more consistant times. Drop clutch is when you just smash the gas pedal and go right? I get no traction at all with that method.

Awesome numbers! Is it correct to assume your car went 0-130 in 13.88 seconds? That is very fast.

Msizzle · 15th September 2009, 07:50

when you do the 60-130 do you start from 0 or do you start from a 60 roll?
