Cam/FAST C6 Vs M6?
How would my C6 with a cam, headers, X-pipe (sport cats) CAI and a FAST fare against a stock BMW M6?
Before the FAST, my car made 455/415 at the rear wheels.
I'm thinking I would make an *** out of the M6 driver...

My buddy has a M6 BMW. I rode in it and it feels like it run fantastic a high rpm....you just can't tell because the car is so smooth. He said that he had a difficult time with a Shelby Mustang but smoked the C5 Z06 and pulled in a C6 Z06. I assume both occurrences happened on the track...don't know which one. Anyway, this car has over 120mph trap speed...so you better be ready. With my bolt on set up, I don't have a chance. I figure I could do some damages to him with a L92/L76 w/cam set up. The M6 is a V10 with 600hp but it is much heavier.

A stock M6 would get smoked by a C6Z. There is a video of a M6 with intake, headers, retune, and some other kind of bs versus a stock C6z on youtube where they race to around 190mph and the M6 doesn't even start to pull the C6z until 150~160mph. If it were stock, it would have gotten pimped. My bolt on LS3 has gone low 120's mph wise in the 1/4 mile on a +560' DA day. I am not saying I would beat a M6, but I know I could hang right there until the speeds got completely stupid.

He must have been more impressed than he lead on though cause he's putting your cam in his CTS-V with a set of Kooks next week......All of this has to do with what I'm sending you.....Hahaha
