GT-Rs are arriving: Anyone run E60 M5 against one? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

0-60 would be no contest (GT-R's AWD and uncrippled LC would spank M5), but what about from a roll?

I think even with no LC on GTR....it'll still kill the m5 from 0-60..maybe even 0-100

Cool. Video too, please. I'm particularly interested in how it does at everyday "freeway speeds" (say 60 to 100mph).

I know the GT-R will kill from a dig and around a track, but I am wondering about the daily driver monster qualities. Godzilla versus The Beast.

I think the GTR all day long in any way

I was lucky enough to see a white one on Newport Coast, but I was going the other way. I got all excited to see one, and my fiancee asked me if that was the car "GT something" that I've been obsessing about. I was impressed that she even remembered that much.

Unfortunately I think it would take us at almost any situation.

Any car that's capable of match Ferrari 599 and beats Porsche GT-2 in almost any situation (Max speed NOT) is ridiculous to be considered a "competitor" for the M5. Resistance is futile!
