Default 03 Cobra slapped an 06 M5

You want a F A S T 4dr, try the new 06 M5! That bitch supprised the hell out of me! I was cruising around 40-50 mph and this car just screams past me then smacks the brakes. Guy looks over and says " wanna get beat by a 4 door? ". WTF, I said when you go I will go. I gave him the jump from 40mph, I dropped it into 2nd and OMG, that thing was only 1/2 car back up to 3rd, then 3rd I put another car and he let off! I had no idea it would even keep up at all. Awesome car. We raced 3 times with each time close through 2nd but the faster we went the farther back he was going. By the mid of 4th he was 3-4 cars back I guess. Still awesome car. You guys with bolt-ons......you are gonna get walked! They trap at 118! Damn. He said he also has a Lamborghini for next week. I said see ya next week. Guy was talking to himself too....Wierd-o.

Nice kill, them new M5 are ***** *******.....
We have a BMW, BENZ, and Lexus dealer right next to my work here (Downtown Chicago) and they use our street over here like a test track, I seen them really stomping on a new M5 the other day. Plus like 2 weeks ago the f@ckwipe almost took me out in a SL65, he came within 5 feet of hittin me, he was going so damn fast it felt like it was going to suck me in....

"wanna get beat by a four door?"

Gotta admit, that was bold of him,....but even better when you put him in his place. I'm sure he was pissed. Now take out that Lambo of his. (grab a video camera, and show it to your kids down the road)....

tight work Jay

Nice kill, I actually saw one this pastw eekend but i was in my navigator so obviously couldnt race him. i pulled up along side him though and gave him a honk and the thumbs up. He was like late 20's with his wife/gf, and he gives me the thumbs up back and then punches it. We were going like 55mph prior to him punching it and he vanished so quick out of sight it was absurd, really impressed me. They look sooooo good too.

Wait till you get next to one, you have to overpower them, they dont quit pulling. 7 speed auto. Shifting was like bam,bam,bam and bam. Bitch kept going! Night and day from the old M5!

^BINGO.

BMW is probably the best in the business in using gearing and engine power as a integrated system. The new M5 makes tons of top end the tranny uses every bit of it.

Nice nice kill. That thing has more processor power than most of our desktop computers LMAO.

Yep, and a bit lighter than the M5! Im not saying they are in the same 1/4 power as we are, but I am saying they make a serious street race. You catch a guy with one and he gets the jump, he will beat you and then not race you anymore.....BE PREPARED. Unless you have a full quater mile stretch in front of you, be ready for some fast reaction and shifting. Light to light that race could be anybodies.

Yea the guy I interned with at Merrill Lynch while I was in grad school had an older m5 and even with 400 hp it felt slow. The thing was so heavy, ti was like driving a tank, but ton notch quality and luxury nonetheless. Yea I remeber reading a whole huge article on the enw m5 whent hey first released it and that 7 speed auto is sick, keeps the car in the strongest part of its powerband pretty much the entire time. Haha I would have got smoked with my camaro the way it stands now but I hope I see the guy again once I have my cam in. I would have raced him if I were in my camaro because I honestly dont care if I lose to someone if the car is a badass car like an m5, cobra, vette, viper, etc.

A new M5 lined up behind me @ the track a month or so ago for his 2nd run. I asked him what he just ran and he said a 12.6. Looks great in person too.

They do look nice.
For how much they cost, you can buy a GTS Viper, a 911 Porshe, or a Z06.

The only way I would stand a chance against that behemoth is if we went off road, where my mustang's famous SUV ride height would be of immense benefit
