How Good Better Do U Think?

I Got 6.7 in this test sometimes i got flat 7 or litle more than that .
6.7 sounds right for your car. Car and Driver got 6.7 with the manual, and I see from the description of the video that car is an SMG - should be the same.


I haven't seen any reputable tests for the N52 with the SMG or manual. I'd expect low-6 second times. Maybe a half second improvement or so.

I meant it should be the same 0-60 time... not the same transmission, although it shares the same rear-end gearing and final drive ratio that the manual has. The Step doesn't. Oh, and thanks for pointing out that A-R-H doesn't have an SMG.
