Toying between the M5 CS and the Plaid.. both on order. Sold my low 8's Audi RS3 so not looking for something to break records.
Right now the Plaid is edging the M5 CS |

Buy the CS. If you don’t you’ll have to change your handle to All Voltage or something. Do you have the skills to modify the Plaid to go faster? |

Based on recent 'ring reports, I am a bit disappointed with the Plaid. Specifically, the Plaid and the CS appear to have about the same 'ring time.
Why does this disappoint me? Because the Plaid is so much faster than the CS in a straight line (9.4 sec 1/4 versus 10.8 sec 1/4) it must not brake or corner as well as the CS if it has the same 'ring time despite the huge HP / acceleration advantage. To be fair, the Plaid was running on its stock PS4 tires and the CS was running on track tires (PZero Corsa, I think). But still, the Plaid should have been faster. My sedan benchmarks are still the AMG GT 63S and the Porsche Panamerica Turbo S (and whatever other letters they add to the name these days). These are both 7 or 8 seconds faster on the 'ring than either the CS or the Plaid despite being slower in the 1/4. I would have bought the AMG but I could not justify spending an extra $70k+ for a similarly equipped car that I don't plan to track. Nonetheless, I give huge props to AMG for building a 4 passenger sedan that weighs 4,600+ lbs and still does the 'ring faster than a 911 S. |

I'd like to believe that, but if that is the case, why is BMW not doing the factory drive and posting the results? Certainly BMW aspires to that result or why else would the headrest be embossed with the 'ring?

Plaid isn't a track car its a sedan that has battery power that can lay it down lol Its strange one would ask it to compete in that space when I don't think its ever been intended or marketed for that (and really not even the 1/4 mile times it puts up). |

Curious, are you the same allmotor from the Acurazine CL forums from the mid 2000s? Thought your name looked famliar. I remember you were always highly tuned (if you are the same person.)

I ran a Y... Not on purpose it was a dumb kid trying to pass me in a 25 zone on a double solid
he got a nose out on me from initial and I just reeled him in... At least he was smart enough to not try to take a turn with that tugboat. But def was impressed with the f90 holding is own from about 5-70 and then taking the lead |

If we continue on this green initiative path, we will all go back to horse and carriage in about 20 years.
And sail boats.
