So what cars have challenged you?
More recently a lot of cars don't even want to compete. They're like no thanks. Which honestly is the most respect the M5 can get. Last two challenges off the line were against a Porsche 911 turbo and a Mercedes S63...the 911 gave me the better challenge but they both fell short of course. What has been your experiences.

LMAO.
This tread is going to be interesting, if not incriminating. Please post videos with velocities encoded. JK. I have to get even with a guy who smoked me in my '16 M2 with his heavily modified Z06. Snows coming off this weekend. Mike

I will be looking for revenge for a couple of hellkitties, some 911's and a zo6 that would not roll race me but beat me at the strip. BTW, took delivery of my third and possibly the last M5 I will ever need.

Well I had a rather disappointing encounter with an Audi RS7 Performance in the lights, as he beat me twice. The M5 is pretty hard to get the launch control right. First time I used launch but I couldn't get the timing right with the light (I held launch control for over 10s) so it just bogged miserably when launching, and second time I just floored it (I was scared to use brake boost given how it had bogged before), but I think the Audi used brake boost and lept ahead of me.
Nevertheless I have been challenged by a 911 Turbo S 991.1 in the road and we were pretty even. They pull about the same from speeds in excess of 100 all the way to 300+. Have also played with my mate's E63 S and we were pretty even too (the M5 non Comp is a tad bit faster from 100-200 but over 200 I would say they pull the same). I have also been challenged by a Pam Turbo (previous gen), which I smoked easily and have also beaten a W204 C63 Weistec Stage 2 easily. My most fun race was with a Ferrari 458. I smoked it several times in the highway, but the Fezza's noise is just so beautiful. The owner couldn't believe an Exec saloon had just beaten his car. He was later asking if it was tuned or had any mods lol. |

I don't think the engineers had in mind using LC waiting 10-15s for a red traffic light to change |

Is it as streetable as your built F10 was? I wouldn't think so at the level you've taken it to.
Are there any idiosyncrasies to a five cylinder motor? |

The F10 had no traction. F90 sort of solves that problem, but its still heavy. I nearly got one as well, but maybe a used one someday. The F90 solves all the F10 problems except the weight. |

In the 6 months I've had the car, I had my first "encounter" 2 days ago on my way home from work in a town 30MPH zone.
A white 320D X-Drive M Sport with the full M Performance kit pulled up alongside me at the lights and beeped his horn so I knew he was there. When the lights changed, I just let him go as it was just not worth wasting my petrol on. He was probably telling his mates down the pub how he'd beaten an M5
