I have a fully stock M6 GC, and honestly what a troublesome car to launch and use 1st gear. 1st gear is borderline useless in the stock Michelin PSS. Great tyre, great car, but no traction whatsoever on launch and 1st gear. My best 0-100 km/h (0 - 62mph) was around the 4.3s range. My stock 0-200 km/h was approximately 11.9s. Funny thing is when I ran for a 100-200 test I got around 7.7s, the extra momentum of coming from a launch straight to 200 didn't really change the 100-200 that much.


I found my best launches to come with DSC fully Off (which is what I drive on a daily basis as I find DSC On too intrusive, I use MDM in the rain), Sport+ throttle, Sport+ Steering and Comfort Suspension. Gearbox in full attack mode in D3 and Manual Mode. I always short shifted 1st at 6k rpm for controlling the traction battle (and I used 60-70% throttle), and that was how I got the best times. With DSC fully On, the M6 fails even to acomplish a 5s 0-100 without thorough control of the throttle.

My car spins uselessly in 1st and 2nd, and only really picks up and goes from 3rd onwards. But from 3rd onwards, I believe only cars beyond a 991 Turbo have more acceleration.
