    There is more that meets the eye. Like engine to tranny efficiency, tq curve and aerodynamics... In all the above the M5 chassis has proven superior by taging a long with a Gallardo. And the M5 power plant has shown that in a stock form has a lot to give, imagine when you fine tune the DME for raw power and not gas efficiency nor driveability.. add to the equation some aggresive cams and open exhaust and then you get the ultimate sedan.

    By the way E60 M5 dyno at 424whp 311wtq vs a 510 car I think is ok to lose by a car...
    sorry bro but.... the M5 LOST to the 510 hp porsche... THE M5 LOST... so how is it gonna beat a more powerful porsche?

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the M...

    Well I never seen a CAMARO wining Lemans or a LS1 engine on the F1 podium. Besides even that volvo will beat your camaro in anyother type of racing besides on a 1/4 mile race...

    If you race the Volvo in a race with 1 turn he will beat you w/ halft of the power you made......

    You are dumb as horse the only thing you can see is in a straight line.....feel sorry for you

    Well the prosche won that race indeed, allthough a one car leng in a drag race is about 100lbs difference. Also a set of lighter wheels will take care of that since 5 to 10lbs rotational mass lighter will increase acceleration a lot.

    Besides if you read me post I said a mod M5, the M5 of the video was stock.
