R U faster than a Redneck???

[Todd in Vancouver]

I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I had the white BMW M6 in last nights episode. I really enjoyed getting to meet everyone on the show and I loved the American Muscle they brought. I actually grew up in the Mountains of Western North Carolina. My family reunions still consist of 100 plus people from West Virginia down to NC, some of which are true moonshiners. I should have been on the "other side" with my heritage I also own a ZR1 and the BMW is actually my wife's! haha

I have never owned a pro touring car, but I definitely respect all cars! Before the ZR1 I had a pontiac G8, GTO, and WS6. It is amazing the difference in weight from the 4500 pound convertible to the corvette. But the BMW is really a great touring/autobahn car more so then a track car.





The BMW doesn't go on a trailer What you saw on the interviews was mostly acting I think from most everyoe. The racing was all real though. I think the BMW had a disadvantage with the short track being so heavy. It actually has a respectible 60-130 time of 8.9 seconds with the minor modifications done to it. In a 3/4 mile straight I think it would be an advatange for the car.

Anyway, I had fun guys and if there is a second season I would love to bring a different car and try to redeem myself haha. The M6 may be traded in soon on a 911 or a new M6 :P

Welcome and nice of you to pop in and introduce yourself. It's interesting to hear from all automotive guys regardless of what they drive and given the opportunity to I would think most guys would go get in line to have a chance to race cars on TV and it wouldn't matter where it was made. It's really nice to hear another confirmation that the racing is real and is all flat out. Maybe I'm a dope but I believed the racing was real from the beginning and just maybe we will convert a few people over to the good old V8 old school approach.
