I think the original post was about relative speed. Funny thing is that the fastest times seen on the board (so far) do belong to the 545. I've not seen any 550 (yet) or any 6er (yet) match the sub 5 sec times a couple of members on here have reported. Anyone seen a 6er turn in better times than the Znod and Grogan times??

yes, go back thru the orig post on the G-tech meter, you will see that cobradav posted his 645Ci results, and the best he's gotten so far is 0-60 @ 4.895

Yeah, I remember seeing that. Cobradav is pretty much on the down-low about his times.

Have you looked at Znod's times? His best is 4.867.

I think the 6er should get better acceleration time compare to the 5. But result might varies due to weather condition, road surface, and of course driver's input!

Yep, it's clear that both Znod and Cobradav (who in the cabrio is carrying some extra pounds) know what they are doing with their launches and their GT2's. These times are close enough to be absolutely inseparable. I'm declaring a tie!!!
