Hi all,

Just got back from an autox (motorkhana we call them here). Had a ball.. the M5 had fun also

. It won best sounding car of the day which is good. Understeer is the main problem here but its smooth concrete and a big V8.. not much you can do. Easy solution was oversteer

.

attached are some youtube links to my frivolity.

If you have not bought an eisenmann race exhaust yet.... then what are you waiting for

Nice. Sounds good!

haha.. nice vids aaron! Looks like fun and it looks you handled the beast pretty well on some of those fast sweeping turns. Very cool to see you drift the beast.

btw.. what were your camber settings? Just curious.

I dont know what the camber is set to, to be honest.. I had it setup when I had the GC coilovers installed but never really asked what it was. I should have tho

Very nice and great driving! What tires did you use for the auto-x?

aaronmiles · 13th February 2007, 23:13

had SP9000's one the front and 265/35/18 Continental Contact Sport II's on the rear (which I dont really like)

Aaron, looks like great fun. Was this your first? Any surprises with the beast around the cones?
Man, I would love to have a go with my car. I have done similar with M3,but would love to experience it in the M5 even tho the 3 would be quicker.
Thanks for posting the vids.

Yeah that was my first go in the M5. You do feel it's weight in the real tight stuff, but not to the point where it feels too big and you can't make the turnin points.
