AWD! Oh wait, that’s not new. Torque converter! Can’t remember when that came out, it’s so old. TT-V8!! Oh, it’s that engine that about 10 years old now, right? That’s not hate, those are facts. Many facts, to use your word.

So in this simulated street race, i'm assuming you beat the demon from a dig because of traction playing an important roll for you. You mention the z06 again, and I have a tough time believing an f90 is walking away from the c7, from a roll. As i said before, i hope to see a stock f90 roll racing next month. |

not doubting the m5's ability from a dig, it should be fast. It's loaded with power and 4 wheels powering it out of the hole... thats self explanatory. I want to see it in some rolls. Thats all. My fathers is due to arrive in a few months. I'd like to run one before hand. |

Surreal...that's all I have to say. For a boat/daily driver to outperform sports cars meant to only go really fast is just amazing. It's like flying to Paris on a 777 and beating an F-15

And this idea that a drag race represents the true value of an M is...priceless.

That said, the M5 driver and the tree were apparently in different dimensions... but it doesn't matter. The clock records the e2e run time so who cares if the M5 driver is jumping the gun? The resulting times don't lie. |

And I agree with that. I don't agree with the other "my car is cheaper and faster so your more expensive car sucks" arguments. Aventador owners don't rush off to buy a 7 second Civic after being beaten by one. That said - I am not saying I would buy a F90 over a Huracan - they are two completely different cars and wouldn't be compared directly anyway. What I am saying is that the F90 is an over-achiever in being able to do what it can - and yes I realize it's tuned. Huracans are tricky as modding them is a little more elaborate than a tune and bolt on setup for the M5 (and we all know what the Huracans are capable of modified). Again - the message is - the F90 platform is stout - especially for what it is. |

Stop with the emojis--nothing you've said is funny or amusing or lighthearted. Follow the conversation; contribute; provide a rebuttal (not emojis). It seems you're trying to make a point but, so far and to me at least, all you've done is come across as a troll. <-- that's another inappropriate, unnecessary, downright-weird, out-of-place emoji … $hit, and another.. I can't stop! <-- oh, that's relevant... my bad. Last edited by limeypride; 03-25-2019 at 09:46 PM.. |

Something is not right with that M5
I have half the mods and smoked two different 610hp huracan's from a standstill. And I did 10.6 1/4 miles 134mph With all those mods that M5 should have been very low 10's |

This is my biggest gripe with people on the forums - there is a general inability to see any comment, criticism or constructive feedback as just that...the M5, in any form, is not a perfect car. Neither is any M3...but the comparison to the M3 has nothing to do with the comments I have made in this thread. Again, M has always been about a value perspective. it's the cheap, cheaky alternative to superior alternatives from Porsche, MB, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc....This value (aka, cheap) position is not typically one utilized for a superiority complex...rather, there are many, many other options that are much more impressive from that standpoint.

M is "Cheap and Cheeky?" You should put down the internet now. That is your opinion - you don't define what M is lol. The last rambling part of your paragraph...please do explain. |

You, on the other hand, come off as defensive of a car that doesn't appear to be yours and petty. See how that works? Maybe you imagine that because a tuned M5 (that produces limp mode, no less) can produce a drag strip victory against a more desirable car (at least, I would guess) in the average enthusiast's mind is, well, priceless....

And yes, M has traditionally represented a value-based argument to a comparable Porsche, for example. Just because one is expensive now doesn't mean that perspective has actually changed .
