At the strip, fuel, the driver, DA, temp, prep, heat soak, tranny temp... could all swing the outcome.

As the DD, though, I'll take the M5 every time comfortable in the knowledge that everything works, it works quickly and intuitively and it'll hang with just about anything... and do so even when the road has corners.
Its a drivers race but I posted that for VT cause CarWow generally mis launches the F90 and to your point in this vid, it was launched aggressively.

Yes conditions always mean so much; thats why I always like head to heads when possible and if both cars are driven correctly. Im sure if the AMG got the launch it wanted here, it would have been closer or a win for the AMG. Both great cars that you and I have had the pleasure of abusing
