This is really impressive numbers for heavy sedan without LC. It still blows mine mind that can beat some really good sports car.lol
Great job from Bmw

I'm more amazed the Pista is that far behind the ZR1 and GT3RS. Damn, the boys at Maranello have been getting too comfortable and fat.

The article is worth reading for the pics alone. Holy crap those pics are amazing! Especially the rolling shots.

According to the penciled in chart, they used 2wd mode (not sure if that was used on the track or not)

How was the m5 competition a full half second slower 0-60 than what Car and Driver got out of standard M5. Something weird there

Still think all these magazines are biased on who buys the most ad space.
I have driven most of the cars reviewed in this article and can tell you that no way the ZR1 is better than a GT2 RS. The senna is great but only has one purpose as a track car. I had to take a Yoga class to even get in the driver seat. The mclaren 750 LT that will come out next year will be a true performance car and the first McLaren I'm excited about. From my experience the top 2 on this list are the GT2 RS and the Pista with the M5 in third place. Put the same track tires on the M5 and a proper driver and see how close you get to the lap times of the top 4 cars in a 4 door luxury sedan. |

E63s launch control is idiot proof and you can increase the launch rpm if you don't care about drivetrain for harder launches.
