Raced a new M5 on the interstate yesterday. This is the first kill I've ever posted. A beautiful red M5 pulled up beside me on the interstate, I was in the fast lane and he pulled up to my inside. I didn't know what it was until he passed me. So I caught up to him and paced him.
We went from about an 80 roll. I pulled about 3 cars on him up to about 150. I was pretty impressed with his car. I slowed down to give him the thumbs up, and he was shaking his head. Sorry buddy, better spend some more money. But all in all a really nice car, that put up a good fight. After all it is a luxury sedan. Nice V10 power in that car, must be nice.

He probably has nearly the same horsepower and torque as my car, but with a little more weight.

I'm pretty sure the new M5 is not for sale yet. Do you mean the previous generation 5-series M5? Not the 500 HP V10 on?

If it was the V10 M5 then you might be right about the hp but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off about the torque.

We need to send a search party out to look for the Beemer's tq . . . cause it's missing

Think it's only got mid 300's at the crank on tq . . . sad.
It's a rev happy, peak power, motor with no tq.

It has 383 lb of TQ, but I am correct, they come out in September.
