They are terrible 1/4 cars here in the US because of this (with there given hp). . . From a roll is a different story.
Now about the video, let me ask you a question. Would you believe a stock m6 can run against a viper with a supercharger and keep up all the way to 196 mph? (please say no). I can show you video of this. So in other words I'm saying don't believe everything you see or hear. So now I know you're going to say well I guess I shouldn't believe the vid you posted... thats up to you. My buddies on m5 board and mbworld came down to the track one day when we had a srt8 event. The fast the m5 could muster up was 12.6 at 114. Now the fasted stock srt8 was 12.7 at 110. I can get him to vogue for this too if needed. But again, don't believe what you hear !lol. The only way this will be settled is when a srt6 runs my stock charger. End of story. So please stop internet racing. Get some of your srt6's here in ny to step up and end this whole thing. Thanks again.
I don't know where you come up with everything you read e90 M5's get great starts here in the states, You know what actually all this is making me laugh way to much...its almost as you gather all your info on message boards and magazines...I've been and driven alot of cars in this world and yes european cars are different in such ways but not in the ways you described...I was born and raised in Augsburg Germany and grew up racing and owning BMWs so I know a little more than your average joe and experience means more to me than what you hear...I hate to put people down but man' your 100% wrong on your car being faster than the srt6 and thats it! End of story!!! and about what you mentioned about the sc viper against the M6 to 196 and the m6 keeping up I agree on that because the viper would be missing gears and getting loose in every gear till fourth, so bye that time the m6 would already have a pretty good gap on the viper...and if thats not the case than the M6 has some mods or a nitrous shot.
