Not sure if you actually watched the video you posted but you do realize the M6 had an 0.644 sec head start and still lost right?
And at the one mile mark the Aventador was going 13 kph faster, which is why the gap was widening. The performance of the M6 in that race was honestly amazing. Seriously fantastic…. But to say it's as fast as an Aventador…. um… yeah |

A couple of vendors have indicated the limit of the rods is around 650hp. Are you going to purchase the upgraded turbos? |

Lambo may have won the race but that BMW won in my mind: 50 less horsepower, RWD (which is a HUGE disadvantage off the line), and it weighs 783lbs more than the Aventador. Mind blowing performance by the bimmer and its' driver. Last edited by YungDro; 05-22-2014 at 08:48 PM.. Reason: cause turbo8765 drives a corolla |

But didn't you hate BMS piggy back? And still installed it on your car?

Think about it this way… if the mags test the new M4 and get 12.3 that's fine but not terribly exciting. If the mags get 11.7… WoW... 6 tenths is a lot. Last edited by turbo8765; 05-23-2014 at 11:14 AM.. |

What your getting at are drivetrain losses. Frictional losses and rotational losses tend to be greater for awd vs rwd, however the days are over when awd was necessarily more inefficient than rwd. Mondern power trains are very efficient… the awd drivetrain in the GTR is more efficient than many rwd power trains. The M5/6 also have a very efficient power train. I have not read anything that would allow me to have an understanding of how efficient or inefficient the Aventador power train is…. trap speed would seem to indicate it's rather efficient. I get what you're saying, but trap speed well incorporates ALL factors except perhaps aero, including drive train configuration. Most STREET cars don't trap fast enough for aero to be a huge factor. Don't put too much emphasis on a single article, but watch a lot of roll races of cars of know trap speed... |

It is, can't drive slower cars after 622whp m6 I really want to try out McLaren MP4 - not a bad price (unlike Aventador) and damn fast! 10.6 1/4.

Well I switched to M4 for now. My next car will be definitely M6 unless I see something special such as M8. Trust me every single day I miss the power of M6; however the nimbleness of M4 plus the Manual Transmission is lots of fun and I am enjoying for now
