You have a typo by the 335i. I think you put 1.13 instead of 1.17..

Ok guys! What about a prediction for the Hockenheim ring for the 997 GT3RS?

The standard model achieves 1:11.7 (bloody fast) I'm going to guess 1:11.0 or a slight shade below that.

Just_me

1:16.5 --- 122.353 km/h - BMW M6 convertible, 507 PS/1988 kg (sport auto 12/06)
1:16.9 --- 121.717 km/h – Jaguar XKR, 416 PS/1775 kg (sport auto 12/06)
1:17.5 --- 120.774 km/h - Audi S3, 265 PS/1493 kg (sport auto 12/06)
1:18.2 --- 119.693 km/h - Audi RS4 convertible, 420 PS/1916 kg (sport auto 12/06)
1:19.6 --- 117.588 km/h - BMW 130i, 265 PS/1453 kg (sport auto 12/06)
1:19.6 --- 117.588 km/h - Mazda 3 MPS, 260 PS/1427 kg (sport auto 12/06)
1:20.1 --- 116.854 km/h - Abt VW Eos, 270 PS/11615 kg (sport auto 12/06)

^^ Nice job by the M6, matches the 05 SL55

I'll update the kerbweight's into my kerbweight thread in about 20 mins, along with everything else

btw, ajzhan said the 130i was eqquiped with the sports package.

Just_me

it matches the facelifted SL55 but its two different vechiles, one is a Roadster and Coupe Convertible. Z8 is a Roadster and only car that is the same as a SL, I wish bmw had a new powerful roadster.
Big difference between M6 Coupe and M6 Convertible in time.

S3 did well, kicking both 130i and R32.

Bruce

Yes, i'm aware of that

All i'm saying is the M6 cabriolet did a good job, matching the SL55. The time is really good, especially when you see the time (1:16.5) is faster than the XKR which is considerably lighter (1775kg vs 1988kg) Yes, the M6 is more powerful, but the XKR had a weight advantage.

Anyways good job M6 and good job S3

I have never been a fan of M Convertibles, they are heavy and not as sporty as the Coupes so never a M conbertible in my garage


It looks like they tested M6 Conv. vs RS4 conv. Going to be intresting how fast M6 conv. is compared to M6 Coupe in acceleration

Bruce

I'm with you on that



Yeah, and i would imagine they tested the S3 against the 130i. Hopefully ajzhan posts the tests

I just saw it. The best time for M3 Convertible recorded by sportauto is 1.17,2 min, a second faster than rs4 convertible. My money is that this Rs4 convertible wasnt tested with ceramic and semi-R-tires like the Sedan. Therefore the laptime isnt impressive as the RS4 Sedan.
