How much faster do you think the M5 would be if you go from S5-S6 and up the EDC to sport? Say from 60-130mph? It can't be that much can it?
The higher the speed, the smaller the benefit. At higher speeds, you're staying in gear longer, so shift speeds play a smaller role in overall acceleration.
this is when you feel that the M5 isn't enought, it happend to me last week when I tried to race a Porshe GT I though I was going on reverse...we need some supercharge or something...
Sweet! Thanks for the video. I had no idea those two cars were as fast as they are compared to the M5. I knew they were fast...but not THAT fast! Wow. Gives me even more appreciation now for my neighbor with his Merc...not the $280k+ price tag...but at least for the car.
Don't think that there is a merc priced in the 280k range. The gap, as far as I know, is SL65 at 186k and the Merc/McLaren SLR is 453k. Is it one of those?

I played with one of those in my 996 Turbo and it was a joke. I might as well have been in a Kia.

you oviously don't get the point I am making
If you race your M5, and have video to report after, and have some of the best and fastest sports car out there as opponents, don't you not use everything the M5 got?? even if the difference at the end is minimal?
maybe it's just me, my .02
