First decent scalp for my M5

Porker 911 C4s, 09.
Straight line had him 3 times, from around 30 to *30, pulling away well.
High speed corners, I had more bottle, so again pulling away, although i am guessing a well driven 911 would have gained on me.
To top it off it was slightly damp, so I was having to ease the power in a battle a little bit for traction at low speed (although I guess it was the same for him).
After 4 miles and slow for traffic, I gained an appreciative, if surprised, nod and a wave.
I have now decided, that despite the extra bulk, my M5 handles better than my E36 M3 Evo, brakes better, and is significantly quicker, especially once it gets going.
