Agreed, M5 look very impressive against tuned SL600.

It looks like the M5 is about to catch up in the end, it would have been another story up to 300 km/h
. Nice race

A lot closer than expected. Hmm. Nice race regardless.

Hmmm not bad, not bad at all. I know our beasts are strong but never thought an almost stock M5 would keep such a close pace to the tuned SL600. Impressive, it makes me even more proud to actually own a V10 beast .

Nevermind the tourque when you have a wider powerband and 40% more gears.
