Correct but you forgot that i wipped him once before he braked due to a car moving into his lane and then in the rematch he was up with me from go and then over took me at hgigher speeds

I need to charge my camera and do it again. Its 1-1 with BRN64666 so a decider is required

Re: M5 on a Drag strip

Salam,

About you racing the Diablo, dont worry, go for it. do it offline and 2nd gear 60+. Even if he gets you, it wont be by much. A friend in AL-Ain has his M5 modded more than yours, with cams and head work, he destroyed a diablo Targa 5 times in a row. His car probably has 30 HP over yours. Race it if you feel your car is running well and tell us what happens. By the way, can you see how long it takes you to get from 60-200 KPH? Start before and once you get to 60 start the timer. You'll be surprised what a good running M5 with your mods can do, just dont try to out run the Lambo once you go over 240.
Abdullah, this is not an attack on your car, just a fact that a good running M5 will surprise few people.

Take care


All for fun and fun for all

HK

Re: M5 on a Drag strip

Hey no problem. But the problem is that he has been in my car and have seen it perform. I think it will be difficult to convince him to race me now esecpially sine he is 1-1 with the gemballa

Re: M5 on a Drag strip

Sometimes I wonder how good are most M5s run. In my case the car is sure tempremetal. From Very quick to just making noise. That video where Ahmad beat the Hamann equipt M5, made me think again. The hamann car stayed in gears a bit too long for what it had, he should have definitly done the business if it was producing the power its suppose to have. I have requested many times for people out there to do a 60-200 test, that takes away much of the wheel spin factor and would be a good indicator how well they are running. To show how strange M5s are, mine has a best of 11.7 and a worst of just under 15. A lot of seconds lost. Sometimes, 300 KPH with 3 adult men, me at 280 LBS and the other around the 175, was reached effortlessly, and then when I am alone on a cool night, the car struggles to get past 280. Abdullah, can you do a run in your lambo and post how many seconds? I hope others can do the same.

God bless

Well i used to have a video that God knows where it dissappeared but what i can tell you that it took it 34 seconds to get it from rolling to top speed (inidicated 360+ km/h)

And the funny thing is recontly i had the speedo stuck with the mileage counter only working. But now my top speeds runs are only 330 km/h (the factory claimed top speed)

Where's my old guage ?

Well, if that is the case then he better not run against. 34s is pretty quick for any car to get to indicated top speed of 360, even if there was a 10% error, that is still pretty fast.

Re: M5 on a Drag strip

The temperatures are rising quickly, and the days where the M5 would breeeeeeath the cold fresh air in the night are gone!

Anyways, new BFgoodrichs's are going on soon, IATS removed by the dealer cause it was causing MAF and idle faults in my car. So lets see how the beast performs on spring nights!!!!
