Even though i'm not into bimmers props to that car. I tailed that thing for like 5 miles There was also a guy in a 740il who was behind the m5 Cool thing about it is that i know that M5 could drop a gear or two and just bolt at any second. There was a guy in his 30's and his wife so i didn't think he'd bite. I'd love to get my ass whomped by a m5 :-)

I wouldn't even try bro Coming home from the shore last year I raced an M5 on the AC Expressway and lets just say it wasn't pretty. We taped it with my digi cam and i posted it awhile ago. Since the search is down i won't beable to locate it for you. It was bad though. It was a short race but he tore me up

LOL I raced one late at night for shits and giggles. Fucker blew me away in 4th gear I posted it a while ago.

Some time before that I saw one at the tolls on parkway, he burned out from the tolls and laid a smoke trail up to 60mph.

A year ago, a group of us took a road trip to Napa Valley from Portland. An M5, NSX, S4, Corvette and my CL-S. Best 4-day vacation I ever had. The M5 hadn't been broken in yet so the guy was taking it easy, never let the rev's get over 5000rpm. The Audi had been boosted to 320hp and the guy was a former rally driver. Nevertheless, the M5 still pulled away from the S4. I don't recall what the corvette did - I was too far behind to see!

Just saw a used one w/ 24K miles in the New York Times for 68 thousand bones. Affordable for some I guess.

I wish I had won that Lottery over the weekend!!!!

momentum3.2

speaking of lottery, who won the $220 million??

Scrib

I'm just 2 miles from the Illnois border, so I picked up my tickets, 5 to be exact, today!!!



And I'm gonna win, damn it!!!

m5..i raced my cls with a E39 M5 ..and guess what..i was smoked.. u can imagine how strong and fast that car is.. it has 400 HP with 5.0 liter m power engine

I saw at least 3 M5's this weekend.......have raced a few in the Slopar, I actually shouldn't even call them races .

SilverKnight

Your GTS cannot take M5s? is there something wrong with it?

Speed_Racer

Type S, just curious. Why do you have 3 pairs of fog lights installed on your jeep? I know it rains a lot in Seattle, but man how much lighting do you need? :P

Zapata

Oh I know i couldn't have taken him by any measure but i think there is some glory in getting your ass handed to you by a great car :-D

Type S

because it looks more aggressive..haha.. and i install them myself..took me a long time to figure out the wire through the fire wall.but they are kind of cool now.....a lot of drilling....wireing and a pair of fog light will not cost me over $40

M5 is my dream car. Supposedly they are putting a v-10 with 500hp in the redesigned one. Too bad it will be ugly like the new 7.

I read that M5s and Vipers are a pretty good match from a roll. I think Hennessey tested a stock GTS vs a M5. The M5 got beat but not by much.

BTW....Anyone read the article on Hennessey a few weeks ago in AutoWeek? What a peice of shit he is.

Zapata

Yeah somebody posted the thread from the viper/vette forums that the article refers too.

Beltfed

M5's are good from a roll, the Viper's biggest shortcoming is off the line traction.

So, if both drivers get a proper start...by 40mph, the M5 is done. The torque in the Viper, especially 97+ cars is ridiculous.

Agreed, the M5 is a great car.....not much to debate.

Zapata

Are you trying to say that a POS domestic is better than a Superb German engineering machine

Beltfed

Actually, I have had 2 BMW's (95 M3 and a 00 Mcoupe)......had more problems with those cars than I have had with the Viper to date.

Viper rules.

Anyway, nothing wrong with having a POS Domestic to match my POS Acura.

Zapata

Oh man i was just kidding bro Did you see the at the end of the statement.

VIPER GTS and M5 I"m not a huge fan of the viper but i still must respect the power.

Beltfed

I know you were, I'm a bit thick headed.....but haven't lost all my sensibility yet.

Anyway, you're not alone....my friends liked my Mcoupe better than the Viper.

Zapata

Oh i'll take the Viper over the Mcoupe M5 gets the nod over the viper cause it has 4 doors and most people have no idea what it is.

eclipse23

Viper vs Mcoupe ?

Viper ofcourse,


Oh, Beltfed, how is the Viper anyways after your insane lady screaming rear-ending incident?

Hi, I'm new here...

I have to tell you guys that I've always liked the TL's. Especially the new S-type. If I didn't have my M5 I would have definitely picked the new 6 speed TL-S.

Is any of you in the Seattle area? I'd love to meet up with some of you guys.

Beltfed

I just got it back, looks really good.....but there are a few things I'm not thrilled about (so its going back to Jersey). Grand total turned out to be much more than I expected- $13k.

Thanks for asking.

darrinb

Its gotta be a bitch do get a good launch on the viper, if you feather the gas a little to much your gonna need new tires. LOL!!
