Video: DSC Off Takes an M5C to Unlimited 500+

Not sure what's being said here, but from what I can tell by watching, it's a stock M5C running against a tuned and then a stock 488 GTB in the supercar class.

Races start 21:00 minutes in.

Very impressive results for the M5C.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting!

I wish I understood the presenter--I love how enthusiastic he is. I suspect he's brutally honest, too, but... alas, I've no idea.

Interesting trap speeds at the 1/4 and 1/2 mile mark. The 488 lost the race from the launch as expected (regardless of RT) and was travelling a fair bit faster than the M5 at the 1/4 mile point but had lost a lot of that speed advantage by the 1/2 mile--I didn't expect that.

Now throw a mere $700-$1,000 USD at an M5 and watch it more positively crucify such Supercars for the total price of 3 or 4 Ferrari paint & interior options (Supercars except McLarens, of course, because they're British and apparently run on pixie dust, magic rubber [leave it alone ya' sickos] and physics defying launch control). Don't get me wrong--I'll take a Ferrari 488 if anyone's offering--my point is more about what you're getting for your money. This is where Hellcat/Demon lovers chime in but the M5's power, brutal as it is in stock form and far more so for under a $1,000 USD home-tweaked, is usable anywhere, everyday... what a great car!

// needs its DCT back but yada yada

I have a mate who owns a 488. He drove the M5 he was amazed, he said both are equally fast, and I believe that to be true. I do believe that in gear acceleration over 100 kph the 488 probably has the M5 toasted but not by much
