What a blast!!!! Last Thursday and Friday I had the M5 at Pocono Raceway’s infield road course (1.35miles) for Driving Dynamics performance driving school course which is really a good excuse for being able to put your car on a road course and see how it stacks up to other cars. The other cars (18 in total) included an Acura NSX, a few E36 M3’s, another M5, Audi S4 and a Lambourghini Diablo that had 800 miles, stalled on the pit road and never started again (it was flat bedded out). We did about 40 miles of track work the first day and over 100 miles the second day. IMHO the M5 was the cream of the crop and I was amazed that a 4 door sedan was able to out run all the other cars consistently. We were only allowed passing on the straights so it was safe with no incidents.
If you ever wanted to really see what the M5 can do, you’ve got to try something like this. All the high speed runs on the public highway are crap compared to putting the car through its paces on a racing road course.
