the alpina b6 was faster than the m6 at 14.80 too

[Just_me]

Any Benzes?

[PaulC_UK]

strangely no

a couple of other interesting ones:

m5 - 15.20
audi rs4 - 15.80
aston martin v8 vantage - 15.81

one thing with the results, is the reaction time at 100 when they slam on the anchors had quite a wide variance - from .10 for the gsx to .72 for the rs4.

[SUPRA]

M5 and RS4 surprisingly close

Apparently the reaction time for the RS4 was 0.72 sec., the longest which would have made it faster than the M5...very strange

Can anyone verify?

I'm interpriting your faster Q as 0-100 only.

I think the reaction time is from the driver realising ( a noise or passenger monitoring kit shouting - something ? ) that they have gone *over* 100, so the 0-100 times should be unaffected by he reaction time.

I dont' follow why that wouldn't affect the overall time - from the moment they go past 100 they're adding extra time to the 100-to-0 part of the time so adding additional overall time.

added: sorry you were referring to just the 0-100 times being used for comparison, although it'd be nice to tabulate the data with the reaction removed to get the "clean" 0-100-0 relative times.

strange that it takes 4.7 seconds to 0-60 when several mags are reporting 4.1?

Yes their 0-60 & 0-100 times are significantly slower than other mags for the M6 & Z06.

[SUPRA]

I was wrong, the reaction time for the RS4 and M5 o0nly differ about 0.1 sec
