Oh I didn't now the price tag was that high. Just think If we had say 15K-20K in a LS1 we would fly..It will still be less then what that car costs.

Good kill, but if you had gone into 4th gear I would bet the M5 would start pulling you pretty hard.

agreed, those cars are no joke at high speeds. Once you get into 4th it would've pulled and if you had to room to go into 5th forget it. Either way good job keeping up.

True.

They are serious top end monsters with the 7speed SMG trans. If you are running even with one down low you're going to lose up top.

M5 is really a competitor for a stock 09+ CTS-V. That was the huge competition when the 09s came out. And liek everyone said, the faster you go the worse it would have been for you.
