I drove one two months ago

PDK is very impressive

Yet I don't think it would take an M5 above 60 kph

The Porsche is v quick off the line though, I doubt the V10 M5 would match that.

You should be able to take him on double-digit speeds though, Ab!!

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.

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.

You got him at 240 km/h And how was your shifts? This sounds very strange.

The 2nd race sounds more realistic, you should catch him around there with a crappy start.

This is what a bad start can do...

YouTube - 599 vs CLK63: "Why we do not do standing starts": 599 GTB F1 vs CLK63 AMG 0-250+ km/h
