A car that runs a 12.9 at 103 or a car that runs a 13.0 at 115?
I do agree with you about the real race part. I do like racing from a roll, though. Just not against those cars that run 13.0's at 115.

I have a friend with a "Pro Street" S10 that's tubbed with a cage, only gets trailered everywhere, etc... Runs 12.2 @ 114. It's geared so low, and that's why it's quick, not because it has some crazy motor (just a mild 350). The mph he's running would get him killed by bolt on LS1's though if he were to race from a roll.
OTOH, 12's are becoming quite boring when we have bolt on Cobra's running 10's.

Why don't you get a reliable quote on the real world 1/4 time of those two??????
Not that the newer M3 is slow, it is by no means a slouch and can pull low 13's, but the M5 is capable of 12's when driven properly.

And the M5 from a comparo test. "Staying in the heart of the power band was more important for the M5 this time around than three years ago, when it was hard to imagine 400 horsepower might not be enough. But that was the case in this encounter. The Bimmer was third to 60 mph at 4.9 seconds and third in the quarter-mile, 13.4 seconds at 108 mph."

With 1940 miles on it, we took the M3 to the test track and measured a 0-to-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a standing quarter-mile of 13.1 seconds at 107 mph. The electric-blue M3 also showed great grip, managing 0.87 g on the skidpad and stopping from 70 mph in 161 feet. Not bad for a car that can hold four adults and a decent load of luggage."

Are we talking the m5 with the big v6 or the m5 with the v8??? Because i think we can hang with the v6 but i doubt it with the v8, but who knows never even thought about racing one

Last week at a light I had a Mustang really pushing hard to pass me after the light turned green, I press the gas pedal, gave it more gas and left the Mustang screeming. The Mustang had to be a 6 cylinder because the engine was screeming like HELL and this was an older woman, thinking her Stang can beat my Z28, I wasn't even aware she was trying to pass me till I heard the awful screem from her car -stock exhaust.

Is this the post with the guy posting about the gt beating the a4s? When are mustang guys going to realise that fbody autos kick A$$ unlike ford autos.
Can believe some guy with a gt tried talking about beating ls1s.
As a matter of fact I beat one the other night w/o my maf working or a left front 02. I didnt kill him like i or any other normal ls1 would but get the point.
Just wondering
Cant ls1s beat the sti and c5.
I have seen both done stock vs. stock. C5 isnt always going to be like that but i know its very possible.

If you had an F-Body that weighed around 4000 lbs you'd need around ~330 ish RWHP to keep up with it... but they don't. That extra 500 lbs will slow the M5 ~ 1/2 a second in the quarter if everything else was equal. So I'd say a stock LS1 could easily hang with an M5, and a few bolts could let you beat it.
I'd definately race this guy thoughM5 Stock Dyno I saw it getting dynoed, it sounded badass... but low numbers it should've been 330 ish... that or BMW overrated them

Now DSM stock clutches are a whole other story, My '95 GSX lasted about a month and about 10 slips before hitting the sack. On another note, i did look at a 2001 WS-6 with 25,000 miles for about 21k from a dealer, think you all may have a new LS1er on your hands.
