I am still dreaming and wishing that when the production M6 finally comes out - rev limiters is raised to 8,000 RPM.

I am still dreaming and wishing that when the production M6 finally comes out - rev limiters is raised to 8,000 RPM.

...But as Mark pointed out, if it doesn't pull hard all the way up to the limiter, what's the point? Flattening out around 5700 = spoiling the party...

[whatheheck]

I know....

Again, I am still hoping and dreaming they will resolve that issue by the time the M6 comes out.

Here is weird/stupid thought - you know how people "tune" turbo engines by increasing boost? Well how about lowering and re-tuning the ECU for more grind at high RPMs. Less power but more fun. OK silly, I know...

 

[whatheheck]

Valid question!

Save that when we meet the BMW M engineers in November.

I will actually start a thread soon of questions we have always wanted to ask BMW but unable to because we dont have a BMW M engineer rep here.

Here you go, my new thread:

Just curious, who would win from 0-60: the GTR or M5?

There's no comparison between the 2...

 

[M6_AGU]

Yes sir -- about $65k or so...
wow! 65k sure is a lot. Lol
I think I'll just keep on modding my beast little by little.:hihi:
Thanks for the info carrisco.

I'm with Mark.

Another local friend has a HorsepowerFreaks 700horsepower M3.
He said his problem is always driveability issues. He cant keep the car on the ground or get enough traction.

And we never make any money on mods when its time to sell the beast.

My 2 cents.

whatheheck, I beg to differ on your local friends 700 hp HPF M3 traction issues. I have a 670hp HPF M3 and I don't have that problem. it could be many factors or just one but knowing I have that much Power, i don't drive the M the same as when it was N/A. i think its extremely drive-able as a daily.
I run 295/30/19 Vrederstein Ultrac sessanta in the Rears and they grip as great as PS2s but again i don't drive it the same. like off the line, i ease into 1st and don't get in it until the HPF Clutch/AA lwfw are fully engaged and i am rolling @ 3-5mph which is 1.1 seconds maybe? then its WOT and Hells fury through the gears but 0 driveaility issues. (106k on stock motor, AA SC @67k, HPF stg2 @103k)

even when I was AA SC @ 440hp my only real complaint was the harder than normal UUC multi-puck clutch. made my left calf muscle bigger than my right.

not saying he is NOT having the traction or drive ability issues just saying its not the cars or TURBO / Superchargers fault its the operator.

No Aftermarket F/I kit is perrrrfect or flawless/faultless but the G-POWER/DINAN S65 kits are close and i have NO DOUBT the ESS SC kit will be as solid as it should be.

 

[whatheheck]

I am only going by what he said.

And yes, perhaps you are a better driver than him.

He is a LEO, so yes, he has a lead foot.

LMAO, A leo? i did not know Leo's had Lead feet, i thought they had big Paws? which would explain the Tire shredding No Traction issue.

end of the day you want to drive a Nissan or a Bmw? imagine a chick asking you what you drive, do you really want to fork out over 70k for a Nissan? seen Lamborghini diablo's for cheaper...

 

[FStop7]

I don't know any women who particularly care about what car I drive. Other than straight up gold diggers. In fact a lot of women get turned off by a guy who brags on his car.

 

[M6Prince]

Buddy think about it this way... You have a Beautiful M6 ( High class, stunning, sporty, luxurious) and then your going to trade it for a GTR?? GTR( Fast, Sporty, Cheap, Not Luxurious, Not High-end, and ITS '"NISSAN") Minus all the brembo brakes and bullshit turbo.... V6 twin charged. Its still a V6 beast, but i rather stick with the M6 and Enjoy it....

 

[alms21]

The boyracer, inferior interior, just a Nissan, vacuum cleaner sound, etc. stuff doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as the countless noises/clunks/rattles the car makes. I personally love the looks of the car---and the performance speaks for itself but I don't think I could ever get comfortable with all those damn noises. Don't think I could dump an M6 for one

 

[M6Prince]

If your Young , go for the GTR, I agree with Beast up there!

 

[mtimmy]

I just recently sold my M6 for a 2012 GTR., .,. interior wise... there can be improvements., but I am another happy man and made the right choice!.

my M6 is a 6 years old car now.... it just old.

 

[mtimmy]

One thing need to add is,. I get more WOW nice car., can I take a photo of your car almost every where every day in the GTR... M6.,. non.,,. no one even care...

 

[M6Prince]

well i guess for me, i dont really care what ppl think.. i don't buy supercars to impress.. i buy what i like for myself. =) Again the Gtr is a Pretty Sick ride after all. =)

 

[vraa]

GT R hands down, 2012 LMAO that thing is wicked fast

You only live once, there is no after life, immortality is still not in our lifetimes

 

[mtimmy]

Yep., GTR Hands down., no question asked.!

the funny thing part ., I was on my way to a Lambo dealer for a used Gallardo for around 120k.,

passed by nissan in my Maserati, they have a 2012 Red seating in the dealership asking 20k over msrp, make it 110k plus tax.. went in,walked around the car.... the sales manager came out I told him I am heading to Lambogini for a Gallardo.,.,,. ...... long story short.,.., 2 hours later, I drove away the GTR with MSRP.......... plus tax. and I got to keep the Maserati

that was exactly 3 weeks ago that happened..
