E61 M5 vs My V.
Had a chance to run a new M5 last night! I was sitting at a light waiting to get on the highway, it was about one in the morning so not much traffic around. A car rolls up behind me, I couldn't really tell what it was? Light goes green, I take off pretty slow then decide to hold it in 2nd and get on it a bit. Well so does the car behind me I noticed. So I stay in it, by the time I am on the highway I am moving pretty well and I notice he is still back behind me about the same distance when we started, so I let off and start to slow down. Then all of the sudden I see the lights coming up on me pretty quick. I was doing about 100mph in 5th so I just leave it there and step on it not expecting what was about to pass me like I was standing still, a new M5 blows right by me. So he eventually slows down and I catch up. We line up at 70mph and he gives me the hit, no honking. I hit it and he immediately starts to pull, by 140 he had me by about 5 cars. Those things really move at higher speeds! Mind you I am a totally stock 2005 cts-v so imo I expected a bit more out of them. At lower speeds he couldn't get around me getting on the highway, it was a two lane on ramp. Still fun, all runs were also done in Mexico.
EDIT, it was the new body style sudan M5, 2013 I am not to sure if that is the e61? It looks like they called that one the F10? Not to sure?

They are actually quite loud from factory, aftermarket exhaust aren't cheap by any means. Full exhaust on my old e55 amg almost ran me 10k.

The M5's are pretty stout. A bunch of companies like AMS and Switzer are actually building turbo upgrades for them. Once a bunch of the turbo upgrades come on the streets they will easily be cars to watch out for.
