My e39 m5 is alot like my 73 SD455Trans Am I had in high school. My TA was all stock appering thus a sleeper. It also had a 70spec 385hp motor with high compression, anyway it was a fast car not a quick car. I only lost one street race when I didn't control the circumstances. I made it a rule to only race from 30 on and would beat many 427 vettes and 426 Hemi Cudas from 30 to say 100. I suspect the m5 with the wieght and gear ratio is more of a car like this. I will always lure my prey into the strengths of the car. I do the same thing in my Ski Boat with a 330hp engine racing a twin mega horse Fountin, although there the race is from idle to about 45mph at which time I peal off and shut down just as they almost start to catch up they sure get frustrated. I don't call this cheating just using the cards to my advantage. Remember the e39 m5 is a fast car not not necessarily quick. I have only raced one c5 vette so far on a one lane road so only just stayed on his bumper to about 115. I could have made a pass but the wife and kids were in the car.
