Ok the race went down and the result is quiet suprising.
It was a dusty day, thus we went for a 20 km/h punch. I had some wheel spin and he was quick to jump 1.5 car length ahead. I hit 4th gear and i started to real him in and at 240 km/h i got him and started to move ahead quiet easily.
The second race, i used traction control and got a better launch (eventhough it was from 20 km/h again) but later i hit the m button and faced wheel spin mid through 1st gear. The Porsche pulled ahead 1 car length yet started to catch him at 200 and was 1 car length ahead (meaning he was on my rear bumper) at 260 and building on the lead.
We tried from rolling speeds and i went nowhere cuz of traction control. It just held the car alot so i lifted.
Results i didnt expect at all.
p.s. my car dynoed 468whp and have quiet some weight shaved off. And I had just under 3/4 tank full.
I say if your car is stock or mildly modded, beware. This thing is a quiet fast.
But you also mention that there was bad traction for the M5...I donīt see this to strange actually.
i raced a 997 4s in my brabus cv8 from dig till about 140 mph
first and second whe where dead even when he put third i jumped instantly 3 cars in the middle of his 4th gear i was about 10 cars ahead
A,
This was a 2009 carrera S. I believe its 380 hp and surely performed alot faster than anyone would expect. Plus, the carrera 4 is heavier cuz its 4 wheel drive. Yet this was an animal. The owner even told me after the race that i would eat M5s and M6's for breakfast ! The shock on his face after getten beat was a kodack moment. Full of suprise!! lol
hbpetrides,
I am quiet sure its bone stock. Lol after the race he called and said he has ordeed a sports exhaust (which should give him 35whp) and wants a rematch.
kosmo,
Yeah u are right. Even though it was dusty. He was quick off the line and the only time i was next to him was when i hads traction on.
My friend, you are getting tricked. The Carrera S's can't beat M3s let alone the M5 / M6. Ask to see the engine (it is in the wrong part of the car, in the rear, just like a VW Beetle from the 1930's).
Take a picture.

I have an 08 Carrera S - (6) speed manual - 355 Horse.. I tell you what it kicks ars. I was surprised at how many nice cars I've easily pulled away from. She moves, and handles like she on the rails of a roller coaster - and its last years 355 HP....
