That Porsche should be absolutely destroying the M5 Comp, regardless of what people are saying here. It shouldn't even be close. The M5 is a masterpiece and the Porsche is just meh. Don't care about tracking, don't care about laps...

Nice cars, that M5 is something else but I do love the 911.
Bob Hoskins lookalike looked feared to death in the Porsche, however I would feel the same holding onto those beasts while they tear away from the line, but fair play, your man in the M5 was supercool. Great video! |

I think the next step is seeing as the next m5 will be electric it will indeed help get it down even faster. |

Tesla is pushing it to the next level. They are saying the next model plaid or whatever it's called is going to be at 1.9s 0-60 and quarter mile in the 9.xx stock. If you ask me I wish we can just comfortably keep the drivetrains as fully gasoline going into next gen, and keep power the same while improving other areas, I'd be more than happy as it's fast enough already now with a simple stage 1 bringing the f90 deep into 2.xx 0-60 and 10.xx quarter mile times. |

Two very different cars with very different purposes and price points.

You gotta realize that some people cross shop weird stuff here on earth. I cross shopped a Ford Raptor vs. M6 GC (albeit used) a couple years back.. regarding the M5 & TTS, they both can make sense for someone with a young family and who hits the track a few times per year. For me specifically, I could consider either as they each check ALL of my main criteria below: - able to commute comfortably - fast off the line - able to fill role of backup track car - back seat for munchkins in a pinch (not primary trip vehicle) - attractive - amenities - AWD for year-round utility The G80 will also fit this bill, and maybe better than either of these cars individually bc it would likely be more fun to drive than M5 on the track periodically (also if my wife wants to do a few days), but more utility than the 911. I'm sure people who like to only cross shop nearly identical cars, this seems ridiculous. But on earth, we do what we want.

I said that should be the last reason you would cross shop these two. I don't give a shit what your sensitive ass cross shops, but I was referring to dragging and tuning cars. You get into family and entirely different criteria. There's a difference between choosing a 200k car or 100k car to drag, and choosing either to meet your various personal needs INCLUDING tracking the car (not just drag racing).

Maybe what you said isn't what you meant and that's fine, but you made it sound like no one would ever cross shop an M5 and 992 TTS if doing more than pure drag racing. I don't drag race and I have started preliminary cross shopping. That's all.

Panamera is a much more logical choice for comparison to an M5 I would have thought, both luxury barges that are fast in a straight line & good for doing the shopping & ferrying the kids around.

Padfan said this is why (drag race?) he/she chose the M5 over the other. I said, or meant, drag racing should be the last purpose you cross shop these two cars. Basically, no one would ever cross shop these two if NOT doing more than pure drag racing. Pretty much it I just reread though and meant usually not. Thats my fault. Or my iPhone.

I'm not up to speed on what folks are doing with the 3.8 but I'll assume they are changing intervals/turbos, etc.

I had an F10 stage 2 and it was very fast and good looking but I just didn't trust it on long drives. Most unreliable BMW I've ever owned and I've owned 13 of them. Hopefully these new ones are better, time will tell.

I considered the 992 911 and decided I did not want a small car with essentially no room for more than one passenger. No desire for a car with such a low seating position.
