Now as long as the lower rpms that you no longer use makes less power than the high rpms you can now achieve, the car is faster. I am quite sure this is the case with the S62 and the transmissions we have.
thrust at the rear wheels would confirm this. If one is falling too far off the up curve then you may not be faster.

Long live the BEAST! So this M5 is basically stock, right (Besides chip)? Wow, I am surprised. I thought the new M3 would walk our beasts, since E39 is heavier and has less power. I guess its all the TORQUE we got

I'd like to see a DKG sedan or coupe go up against the beast. Those should be a bit faster than the cabrio.

So the M5 and M3 were very close, the M3 beats the C63, does that mean the M5 would beat the C63? I assumed the C63 would walk our cars.

The C63 AMG will walk the M5 but not humiliate it.
