The final showdown.

So FINALLY we got to arrange the following supertest:

2 x 2013 BMW M6 (mine and one from BMW) vs 2 x Nissan GTR 2012 (one private and one from Nissan)

First we will race the 2 Nissans against each other to get a winner and then race the 2 M6's against each other.
Secondly we will race the loser M6 vs the loser GTR
Thirdly the Winning M6 vs the Winning GTR.

We will race 0-800m (1/2 mile). We will mount go pro cameras on both cars and have passengers with hand held and have performance box in both cars racing to document the whole event.

Once the test is done I will post all the video and results and performance box readings.

I think this will be very interesting because this way we cant have driver issues or broken car stories etc. I bet my money on the M6.

Haha. Thanks guys...Singapore Grey is the color and it has a lot of different colors. Sometimes it looks blue, grey, almost black and even has a greenish/red in it also. Its a crazy color.

subbed, also ensure gtr is running on the correct octane to eliminate that potential power killer.

Any updates on this? I have a feeling the GTRs may have actually been running right, and won so we wont be getting a post. Win or lose, I would still love to see your results.

Come on guys, any knowledgeable enthusiast can tell that his videos represent something other than reality.

Without a video of the car at the drag strip or some V-Box data. All these videos are meaningless. I know plenty of people working at the shops that can take a car out for a "test drive". I can make videos of Camaro pulling on an M6 and claim that the Camaro is stock, but what does that prove?

The GTR guys did not want me to take video (I wonder why), I can type up what happened but who would believe me.. But, I did however persuade the 1 GTR to meet me for a midnight run! See full video here:

I know its meaningless since all videos are faked when a GTR loses, but have a look anyway and you be the judge.

For those who want to know the results of the GTR vs M6 test I will post vbox data, its all I have.. NO video..

Lol. I love how you are launching on a car that does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. That means your M6 must be doing 0-60 dashes in like 2.5 seconds. Race that thing against a Bugatti Veyron.

Extraordinary claim require extraordinary proof.

All data points to the GTR being a faster car, so the onus is on you to provide the evidence. Something that cannot easily be faked. A video at the drag strip is a good start. Tune or stock, at least you show what your car is capable of.

It is what it is, like it or not.. 5 videos, 5 different GTR's 5 wins for M6.. If I havent proven my point then I never will.. Done wasting fuel on GTRs, they are weak in stock trim and they only perform on paper!

Show us what your car can do at the drag strip or else your car can only perform in your dreams?

I love the new S63tu motor and personally prefer the style of the F10 M5 over the M6 coupe/gc. I think it is nice that BMW is sticking to RWD and offering manual transmission.

But people are not as gullible as you think.

I would hope as more of these cars start hitting the streets and tracks we would see some real world numbers. If the M6 comes out of the gate and rips of 10 second 1/4 mile times at over 128mph, then I wouldn't doubt your races for a second.

0-60 mph in 4.1 Secs:
http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews..._bmw_m6_coupe/

0-60 mph in 4.2
http://www.edmunds.com/bmw/m6/2013/#fullreview


0-60 mph in 4.2
http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/22/2...-review-video/

0-60 mph in 4.2, 1/4mile in 12.6@ 124mph
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/bmw/201...e-ar99444.html

Now for the GTR we have this nifty little list of times run by owners. Granted its not fair to compare magazine times to owner times but bare with me for a second.

stock 2012+ GTRs have run in the 10's with average time in the low low 11's. Based on your "Proof" the M6 is faster from a dig than a 10 second GTR. This means that up to 120+ mph you are faster than a GTR?

GTR list.
http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/...mile-rankings/

From the reviews it seems that the M6 is more then a second slower than the GTR. I also didn't realize how the M6 is almost 400lbs heavier than a GTR. A logical person can only draw 3 conclusions from this data.

1: Your M6 is somehow modded.
2: The GTRs you are racing are not running to factory spec.
3: The videos are staged.

I would like to venture and say its option 2, however you, or anyone else believing any of this nonsense is just being thick headed.

Okay so all 5 GTRs including 2 modified ones I raced are all "broken" - right....

I have vbox data where I do 11.6 1/4 and exit speed of 202km/h in my M6 and the other M6 11.8 exit speed of 199lm/h.

My car is as stock as they get and I raced another M6 and is was next to me all the way. So I guess the SA model GTR is de tuned more than what Nissan SA lets us to believe.
