That was going to be my next question, whether or not a blown S197 would make a good run for an M6. Of course, it would come down to the blower itself, how much boost, etc. I doubt a Roushcharged S197 or stockish Saleen would touch one, for example. A good set-up like StkJock has would be getting in the right ballpark though.

a blown s197 still cant run with them at higher speeds. i can tell you i have personally been in an M6 lets say about 170. they're comfy too. one of my friends picked one up for 125k cash.

HO usually indicates some type of charge cooler. there are kits that are not cooled from Vortech, Paxton and Whipple

I can see that if the blown S197 ran the M6 to really high speeds like 170 mph considering the S197's gearing/aeros simply can't hang with the M6s 7-speed tranny/aerodynamics, but what about a dig race to about 130-140 mph?

I don't even race to 100 on the streets... up to 170 on the streets, that's just nuts.

low to mid 12s and mid to high teens stock.

Who would race to 170 mph on the street?

I dont think I'd have a problem with one in a dig from 0-140.

Maybe I can set up something with my brother-in-law, he bought a new M5 about 6 months ago.

0-140 i dunno i honestly couldn't say being as i've never ridden in a blown 197...but guessing out my *** i would say it wouldn't be more than a fender one way r the other.

damn, do u guys live in the "sticks" or something? There's ny way would I ever do that here, nor any other area around here. I'd have to go up north (to a track of course ) to do that sort of thing... I guess, I just don't care about 100+ cause most of the time if I race it's from 0-100.

Since you guys have like, 10,000hp (at the motor of course, at the wheels would just be silly)
