It's hard to believe it's a Mercedes. If the windows are up, i hardly hear the tires spinning.
Gino Harmut does great things there in Lake Park!

Watching that video I was wondering if it was going to end with "Gino luck"......

I got too drive one of those when they first came out. My buddy worked for corporate at MB and brought it over. We hit 164 down wonderwood and she still had more. The way the seats inflate to keep you tight to the seat is cool. Its a beautiful car.

the 65's are NUTS!!! I have a little old E55 and that is impressive.. I do not think there are many cars on the road that have chit on a 65 from 60+ (INCLUDING a lambo)

Yeah he could have been blowing smoke as I told him I had never driven a car like that. Hell I didn't even know the M series existed before that day.

But I do appreciate you telling me what to stick to, what to say how to think how to act, I mean I've learned SO much from you...

Maybe you have topped out an unrestricted M6, but I find it very believable that an M6 would easily go 180.

I did some "googling", and found a couple of sites claiming they would do over 200. I dont know of I believe that though, considering a 599 GTO with 661 HP will only do 208mph.

Here is what wikipedia had to say:
The new BMW M6 concept made its debut at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It is based on the BMW E63/E64 6-Series, introduced in 2004. It shares the same 5.0 L V10 S85 engine and SMG III gearbox with the E60 M5, and produces 514 hp (383 kW) / 520 N·m (380 lb·ft).

BMW claims it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds (0-60 mph: 4.1 s [Road & Track [2/06]) and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour (249 km/h). With the limiter removed, the top speed can reach 205 miles per hour (330 km/h).

I had a CL65 and took it to "street tire night" at our local dragstrip a few years back Totally stock ran an 11.81. Now I have my second SL65. Installed Renntech's upgrade when I got it and absolutely love the torque. These 65's are animals from 60 to 150

I'd be careful about quoting magazines for speeds I have no idea what it quotes my baby Lambo but I know what it does... Stable as everything at all sorts of speed and IT DOES go over 200 (but I didn't feel like taking a picture...)... Bone stock.

not sure about stock, but chipped m6's are actually pretty quick and do have a very high top end, and will walk away from a c6 Z06 from 160 on.
