Mine personal M6CP does repeatable low 7's/high 6's 100-200 and high 10's/low11's 0-200..
According to my knowledge there is no option to "upgrade" 575hp version to 600hp version. But I wonder how much HP will produce 600hp on dyno, because it might be only marketing trick. Mine stock 575hp put 615hp on dyno...
Why not to go with jb4?
1) warranty
2) M5/M6 after ecu upgrade often have a clutch slipping problem.
Last day I called manhart to test his stage 1 BOX and they told me that slipping clutch is known problem even after stage 1, Gpower told the same... |
The result of any performance test is based on many variances including road condition, temperature, weather and also driver. The test you are referring 2 years ago was between GTR (track edition /550 Ps), R8 V10+(550 Ps), 991 TTS (560 Ps) and M6 CP (575 Ps) and as you mentioned the result was fantastic. Not only in 100-300, but even in 50-300 or any other 200-300 and 250-300, M6 CP was the winner and this proves the better M6' power to weight ration (while M6 is over 300 lb heavier than all of those cars) over other competitors although RWD M6 had the worst 0-50 km/h or 0-100 km/h due to traction issue compare to those 3 AWD power monsters.
I believe another reason M6 could beat them is the high amount of torque available in wide range of RPM both low and high end.

Must be predicted on the same situation of that test, the new M6 CP (600 Ps / 591 BHP) can be couple tens of second faster in 0-100 km/h or 0-200 km/h and about 0.5 second faster while reaches 300 km/h...
You also correctly referred to clutch issue of those non factory tuning and I have discussed this issue several times with many people here or the M5 side of this forum. FYI, the DCT on our cars is GETRAG 7DCI700 rated to 700 NM (516 lb-ft) as maximum input torque. I admit Germans are always conservative but I highly believe anything more than 600 lb-ft is not safe for this DCT and will put lots of stress on transmission and clutch unless these items are upgraded.
As far as power of M6, there are enough evidence to prove that this engine is generating 600-620 hp for non CP, and 620-640 hp for CP (575 Ps)... the new CP (600 ps) must have something about 650 HP (actual power at crank)
