I was on increased boost settings with 100 octane. I was at 500AWH and 550AWTQ. And I still had 3 more boost settings to go.
From 40-120 I would win. After 120 he would walk me.
P.s this guy is experienced. You just doubt the AWD Torque from a roll. My car Hauls ass from 40 Rolls

No i dont doubt AWD from a roll. Its a R6, they run High 10s to mid 11's with a 128+mph in the 1/4 mile, Bikes are not like cars, HUGE Skill gap.
I'd know I have 2.

Well I don't know what to tell you bro. Check out the 40-120. This is on setting 6/9 on the dial with 93 octane. The race was on 100 octane and oh man did I feel a diffrence.

your car is fast no dought, Im just saying. Big skill gap in Bikes vs cars. When I was at Miller motorsport park in Utah last year I was beating R1s on my track r6 because of ride style. To much other details that I dont want to get into because it doesn't matter but hey a race is a race right!!

BTW:
Why was it in M mode. You manually shift the car?

I heard fastest times are s1 settings. Just shifter moved to left and gun it.

I always hit the rev limiter in 1st to 2nd no matter what and car boggs the fuck out. I should get a m5 exhaust maybe my car will be faster

I did a lot of practice runs with the car on track and when I shift manually at 6.2k my trap speed went up 2MPH every time! After 6.2K you are just loosing power. It probobky feels faster with that jerk between gears when your in sports but its actually not lol.

Not sure why you always so hard on the M5 exhaust. Full 3" including downpipes on is better than 2.75"

Truth?
I have a few friends that have m5 and each one of them said how they think it's funny what 550 owners do with there "garage parts"
And I agree. I guess i just have lots of pride for our community and it just bugs me. No hard feelings to anyone. Just my personal opinion.
I have no issues with downpipes. Idk why that was even mentioned. Just stock m5 exhaust.
And again.... It's the sound box style mufflers that give it the sound that bother me not the 3 inch pipes.

Just the fact that bmw designed to make the performance like sound. That is why M5 guys upgrade for actual performance mufflers not sound boxes.

Sorry for coming off hard. I just worked really hard and was down over 7 weeks without my car to help the community with the new full system so when I see people still doing the m5 thing it bothers me.

The community appreciates your efforts and opinions for sure Combat.

I understand your position completely. Many members who pioneered the M5 retrofit would echo your opinion. I feel the community wants honest feedback on the systems without emotional attachment. Just my opinion.

Gadget you jack in to your trunk that allows you to control the flaps from your rear view mirror buttons. I think it was he was referring to.
