according to youtube the m6 should pull on the 55 amg's... What happened here? The 22s slow it down that much?
I think the 22s is the biggest factor. They're probably at least 10 lbs heavier per corner than the stock 167s and that has a huge impact on drag and rotational mass.

Also, you should have traction control off, P500S and S6.

20" vs 22" big difference though...

Plus I had 2 tires in the trunk, 91 octane cough lol

I think, on stock tires, 94 octane it should be better. I should pull a car length as seen from few youtube videos... ?

Yeah it's gotta be the 22's slowing you down. Plus don't you have launch control? That should be quicker off the line.

Driver Error on Tbals part.


So I guess this means the 22"s went back on there OK?

Get rid of those boat anchor 22s. They were fine on a regular 6 series as they're more geared towards cruising but not on a performance oriented M6. Get some lightweight 19s or 20s.

Also, not sure if you know but the M5/M6 is stronger from a roll and at higher speeds. Pass a 100mph or so and these cars can catch up/pass/pull harder than most other cars on the road.

And if you're still not satisfy then get some RPI gear and you'll be ruling the highway.
