^yup. X6 M package is a 4.4L V8 twin turbo 408@ the crank AWD (i think) 0-100km/hr in 4.7seconds. 5,247lbs though..lol and our cars weigh about 1/2.

If I did line up, his torque (500ft-lb which is more than 3 times the torque) would eat me, then I gotta catch up, hopefully no cop come out of the station ahead (yes, there was a cop station near by). I think S2000 needs more torque if we do drag. 237hp 153tq is not good enough, 250hp and 200 or 220tq would b sooooo much better. sigh....TIME TO MOD!

No the car you're talking about is the standard X6 50i with 408hp and 450 torque at the crank, and a 0-60 time of about 4.8sec or so and a 1/4mile time in the upper 13's range, the BMW X6M has the 4.4L V8 tt as well, however is tuned by the M Division to produce 555hp and 500lb/ft of torque, they run a 0-60 of about 4.2-4.3seconds with launch control, while completing the 1/4mile in 13seconds flat all day.

Unless you have good mods and gears the 4.4 NA X6 will probably get you over 80mph. The M edition will leave you in the dust from the get-go. A minor mod flashed X6 M will run 11's all day.

Some guy in an eclipse kept trying to do that to me. I passed him at about 40mph when he was on the perpindicular street trying to turn on. Second I passed him he must have done 60 to get up to be and started riding my ass. I sped up and before I know it I was a good bit over the speed limit so I slowed down...still on my ass so i checked him. At the light he parks his car sideways in front of me complaining that I hit the brakes and started cursing at me. He gets out of the car, I told him you shouldnt have been on my ass. He tried to fight me. I really wanted to but I was in broad day light so I just said meh w/e dude lol. His girl got out of the car and called me a pussy. She was 300 lbs at least. Watch it man, people are nuts.
