BMW vs LS1....
I want to say there is no competition between the BMW M5 and my ls1...but truthfully, when my buddy took me for a ride in his neighbors 85,000 dollar M5 i was seriously impressed w/ the speed, i know it has a V8..and i'm guessing a smaller 8 than an LS1...but does anyone have any knowledge as to a stock SS against a stock M5?? My SS has a full exhaust, airlid, and a bunch of suspension mods, figure i'm pushin around 340rwhp....he said he thinks the M5 is around 400...what do you guys think, any ideas?

I have only run against an M3 (2003 or 2004 I assume) an it was a 65 roll to 90 and I took it.
The M5 I would assume is a bit stronger. But I will offer my mag racing point of view...
From a launch to 60 mph the M5 will win and if you take it to 100 mph I think you will pull him in and then it is a drivers race.

lol that's classic!!!
My cousin has a 2003 MN6 M5 that I raced it at Cecil Dragway [Maryland] with around 11k miles on the odo and pulled a 13.2xx @ 108.xxx with a 2.0 60' on stock 18" tires.. just to give you an idea..
It's rated at 394 hp / 368 tq and weight 3930 lbs.. He paid $73,900 for it, brand new!
The car pulls strong stop or roll.. esp after 100 mph! .. comfort and handling wise, 140 mph in the M5 feels like 60 in my TA!!..
Stock for stock, it'll be an interesting race.. but don't expect to walk the M5, esp at higher speeds.. even more so if the road has curves

I can cover a 12.80 BMW with no problem,but I don't think I had to go that fast to beat the M5 I raced,the Tahoe was still pulling his BMW at 110+ when I lifted.I saw him showing off to his passenger raced from a roll and kicked his a$$.
