I'm tired of drag races. There's no skill involved anymore. It's just point and shoot. Is there any track time comparisons?

Nope.

LOL,

Just looking at the price difference and there is a no brainer for me.

M5 plus 40.000 pounds in the pocket? Yes please.

Don't know why it's hard, think it's almost easier than activating LC in my F10.

Nope.

That's like saying you're "tired of beer" or "tired of freedom".

This was a cool watch, thanks for posting!

You can probably replace "BMW" with any other European brand and it will work the same lol.

LOL I love how the M5 wins and they end the video with, "if you'd like to watch this car that lost by a lot or know more about this car that didn't win, CLICK HERE!"

Seriously agree here, I am really interested in a Panny, and still leaning that way, but the price is hard to bite due to how good the competition has gotten for less. I am also seriously considering waiting for the Tayman, I want to see what that Tesla killer will do.

I thought the same thing, so of course i watched it (plus it's Chris Harris, and I'll pretty much watch him review driving a camel). He actually liked the Merc, saying they've gained on BMW in terms of driving dynamics and precision. Makes me happy, since I prefer MB styling at the moment, but not enough to justify losing the edge in driver feel...but other making ground in that area then maybe I can have my cake and eat it too.

it's now pointless to have 1/4 mile times as a metric for all these ICE super sedans. they can never beat the EVs and so who cares who beats who. they are all clambering for 2nd place anyway. a better metric would be feedback, handling, exhaust note and so on...
