Default Challenged an M5,

Heading home from work Friday out on the freeway and notice a new BMW M5 ahead of me. I've been dying to go head to head with a high power car for awhile now. Anyways, I pull up next to him and try to entice him to run. No go, I look over at him and he just waves his finger at me, saying no way. Boooo! 500hp and he's out for a cruise. [>:] Don't flame me telling me to take it to the track either, I'm probably a safer rider than the majority and would never tear through traffic haphazardly.

If he has enough money for an M5, he has enough sense to know that some kid on a crotch rocket isn't worth messing around with.

I played with an M5, we played between stop signs and came into traffic and ended up going different ways.didn't get a chance to run with him but Im sure it would of been a run for my money. Still not sure if he could pull me only time will tell when it happens for real.

If it was a new generation M5, it would depend on your riding skill. Those cars have launch control in them, so they run very very consistent times, I think somewhere in the low 12's. This time is nothing on a bike if your good, but if you cant keep the front down you will be luck to get a 13 sec QM. My bet is you would have taken him, on bitch factor alone, none the less your probably faster. 500hp yes, but they are like 4800 lbs, do the math, its not any faster then a vette, its just cooler.
