With TC off your in total control with m6. Then you can eliminate the car as a source of your frustration.. I will trade you my ltg m6. 335/350 hp/tq. I have absolutely No issues passing... except for maybe a well handled SS.

All I really wanna do is practice and get better at accelerating, I would use “ how long it takes to pass other cars” as a test, but I’m not ready for that yet.

WTF? Put the phone down and drive, ffs.

Sell this car before you hurt someone else on the road trying to 'drive aggressively'

At this point I'm just assuming you're either a troll, or incredibly immature.

If you have your GT-R in 6th gear and you are going 20mph and floor it, it's not really going to go anywhere either.

Well that’s the thing, but in automatic, it shifts so much quicker than the A8

it won't matter if you are in the highest gear at that speed, it won't have enough power to dig out from 20

I’m not trying to be a troll. This is my 2nd car at 21, I’m not that experienced with advanced things, I’ve always known what gears were, just never knew how they worked and how which gear operated at which speed. I didn’t know about that stuff, in my old 335i, I would just accelerate it every now and then because the turbo lag was so so short, and that’s it, I didn’t over abuse it, I never used it in manual because the paddles weren’t designed like a traditional + and - they were push and pulls.
I never knew about the gears thing before I had a guy at a dealer test it and show me what I was doing wrong the whole time, and when I meant drive aggressively, I meant some pulls from low gears and roll ons, not reckless triple digit driving with people around me, I don’t do that crap, nor do I condone it. I understand that a good amount of people here dislike me for bashing at the car in my previous thread, or that they think I’m driving like a fool on the road, because I’m not. I just do brief accelerations from very low speeds, as I’m trying to practice the tips and things the other few members have been actually trying to help and teach me, and when no one is around at all , I just do brief acceleration tests, I don’t do that triple digit reckless stuff. I’m not immature. I thought the SS can accelerate like that because the GTR only has 25 more hp and 25 less torque?!?!

Edit: here is a pic of the last time I had my 335i when I got the SS
