DAMN CLOSE RUNS! Before all the "slowest KB 2.8 termi ever" and "tuned F10 M5's rule the roll race scene" comments come in, I'm just gonna say two things:

1: those kind of close runs are why guys like me are into street racing. Fun as **** in other words!

2: Those new M5's are head and shoulders above the old ones. A E92 M5 would have been left behind like the proverbial red headed step child against that termi.

Nice vid. Those were pretty much neck and neck.

Great races!

Expected more out of an E85 & KB combo.

Nice races. Someone needs a short throw shifter asap.

Seems like Cobra would've taken it if the driver could shift

Yeah JP knows the cobra driver, he needs to learn to shift.

I don't know if I'm at liberty to discuss the dyno #'s on the cobra but I can tell you they're certainly not high at all. Put down very low power for its mods

A good bit of momentum lost on each of those shifts, but with that said I'm very impressed with the BMW. Knowing how my car pulls in the middle of 3rd and 4th gear just makes the M5 that much more impressive in my opinion.

I could tell by how the Cobra looked that it was going to run like a turd.

Good runs, M5 runs better than the one I gapped.

You must not have run an F10 M5, they're a ~120mph stock all day long.

I don't know what year it was. It is a Dinan car though. Said he had the Dinan stroker motor. Go check my thread and you'll see the race.

Then it was an older e60 with the V10.

Which honestly I would rather have than an F10 M5, even though the F10 is WAY faster with minimal modifications. That sound... I'd love an E34 or E39 M5 as well though.

Yeah i know that guy. He has some major issues with his clutch or tranny or both. Heaviest clutch i have ever felt in my life. If you try to shift even a tiny bit quickly it grinds ALWAYS. Also for a KB e85 car the numbers were pretty low. But it runs alright.
