For most cars, without a tire, RWD is always going to be at a disadvantage to AWD with similar power to weight. But with a tire, it shifts back to RWD because most AWD cars come with higher tread wear all round tires stock. They do better than RWD because they have the extra wheels giving traction. But with an R compound or DR - now the RWD car is cutting 60's at a level the AWD car cannot. Also for the simple reason a RWD can heat its tires.

At the highest level RWD cars are superior to AWD cars as the record ET's prove.

Sicario

I am 100% sold on this new platform. Having owned an E60 M and currently in a modded F10, I am putting up my car for sale. I was planning a forged/built motor but have not been satisfied with some of the results by the reputable builders. My car recently dyno'd in the 640-50 whp and love the way it runs but it is a RWD car and has lots of limitations. There are five people in my area I would run right off the bat. Hellcats, Demon and some modded Vettes.

Great choice! I loved my F10s and F06s. My E63S was a really great car, too, and I had a lot of fun mod'ing it but, ultimately, not for me. The RS7 came close to 'my' perfect car but the transmission let it down. Far and away above all of those, my F90 M5 sits as King on the throne of my favorite car--I FREAKIN' love this thing.

Mods

Mod wise - the biggest difference between the base model and the Competition model?

I have to admit - I am impressed the C7Z did as well as it did with those tires and a brief spin of the tires. I have to hope that the Vette owner just wanted to see what the car would do with that MPH killing wing on the back lol.

The F90 platform is stout - there is so much in it. AWD and twin turbo and these cars can go as quick and fast as people want to spend.

What is most impressive is the tune and exhaust combo running what it is. Another owner has run 10.24 (it may be the same car actually) - which is starting to be pretty quick - especially for the level of mods.

Summer 2019 is looking good for the F90!
Wow !!! I want an M5 now - crap I'll take a 2014 with mods - the dude in the 'Vette...he lost on purpose - riiiight??:

Cause I think the 'Vette would kick ass - so like you said, he just wanted to see what the M5 could do

The Vette lost - I’m not sure about the last sentence in your post - because I didn’t say it.

I don't think VTknight is saying the Vette driver simply wanted to watch the M5 and didn't even try for a time, I read it as saying that he jokingly thinks the Vette driver wanted to know what happened with a 747's wing on its arse… 'cause it sure as hell isn't helping here. I think perhaps you're reading what you want to read into VTknight's post... maybe, just a little?

// EDIT: just saw his post below, so confirmed I guess.

This isn't the only video out there; check out the others. There are plenty out there with the F90 taking down Huracans and 911s... and more Vettes. The numbers don't lie; the M5 with tweaked exhaust and a piggy has already cracked the 1/4 mile in 10.2 secs. With just a piggy, there are numerous cars in the 10.3s.

Thank LP. I don’t think he knows what he meant.

What are the hardware differences (exhaust, tune or other) between the M5 competition and the M5 base model?
