That would be incredible and then I will be the first one to say a Dinan stroker kit is cheap.

Please let me know when you get that put in.
Will do!

Darren,

The car looks to be much faster than last Saturday. The initial response when you nail it is insane. You have one sick fast M5 now! I'll have my fast pass with me this Saturday for a ride. Now I just need to get one of those stroker motors when I order the E90 M3 and I'll be set!

Mike

Come on, you know very well you can make any car go fast - a Ferrari is still a Ferrari and a BMW is still a BMW. Why compare them?

And a Mercedes is still a Mercedes... And a Chevy is still a Chevy... and on and on...

Why compare any two vehicles? Why was racing ever thought of? What were people thinking?

I personally love seeing when people wonder what the heck just happened after crushing them when they thought there was no way they were going to lose.

True, any car can be made to go fast. But a naturally-aspirated BMW with a 4 yr 50K mile warranty that can challenge (and beat some) exotics, now that's something special IMO.

So is 5.7 the maximum the v10 can be increased to and still be
reliable? Or is there more potential still?

So, I buy a Honda Civic, juice it up to a million horsepower and then make an M5 look like a little kid's bike - who's laughing then? Guy in the M5, cause the other guy is still driving a ******* Civic (albeit miles ahead down the road by this point leaving the M5 in its dust). Or me in my Civic because you thought there was no chance you could lose in your overpriced BMW, bahahah.

The comparison should be made with cars meant to compete with one another - M5, E63/CLS63, RS6, etc. That's what they do in real racing, you don't see F1 cars in Nascar races - apparently not on message board racing though.

Comparing an M5 to a Ferrari or a Lambo or an SLR is just silly imo. Different cars for different purposes - speed is speed, but the overall experience is way different. I, for one, would never NOT buy a Ferrari because someone beat me in an M5 that was modded out.

(BTW - don't editorialize my quotes, thanks)

Wondering how this specific ride would fare against the E39 M5 S3 ?

watched the video and the car pulls away from the regular E60 M5 way too easily. Nice !
