R&T has posted their track times of the M5/6 in their Feb. issue.
0-60mph 4.1sec using Euro-spec launch mode, which as they put it, is faster than the Ferrari 612 Scag, every Aston martin, and the Bently Continental GT (the one with a W-16 engine, FI)
That's just freaky fast, and for a car starting at $81K, 'bargain' speed considering the prices of the competition. Too bad the US version's will only 'launch' at 1800RPM instead of the 4000RPM of the euro-version.
I wonder how long before tuner's find a way to re-program this (or is it already done?:dunno: )
Nod to the Mods - If the info posted borders on unauthorized copyright reproduction, you know what to do.:thumbup:
