I would guess not even close but Ill let vtknight step in since he just got rid of a tuned M550i and now has a stock CE M5 which traps 129 but even non CE F90's are trapping 126.XX
I would say a tune and exhaust M550i is not likely quicker or faster on average - although I haven't seen the latest and greatest as I have the F90 now - but when we last were together the M550's were in the lowish 11's at 121-123 MPH - so that isn't enough. Eventually - with full bolt ons, down pipes and maybe injectors (if necessary) - an M550 may be quicker than a stock F90 M5 - but seeing I believe (and will hopefully successfully confirm myself) - the F90 M5 in cool conditions with prep is a high 120's MPH car - maybe touch 130 flat with a tail wind - running 10.8 or maybe even a high 10.7.

That is a ways to go for the M550 - at least from what I last saw.

EDIT: my M550ix was stock. I ran a best of 12.1 at 117 MPH.

So bizarre that this upsets you.

0-62mph in 2.4 sec

I believe he posted a 0-60 in 1.95 sec from the Racelogic.
The F90 is making those times?

I kid, I kid....but I would still take the R8 10 times out of 10. Even if that meant going back and forth to shuttle the three other people I could have carried in the M5...
Jokingly, Were you aware the M5 does almost 1.0G on the skidpad on stock 4s tires?

Ok but the race is not about looks or sound but who gets to the finish line first...

That's impressive for sure - it's definitely a technical marvel.
