Default smoked by an m5

Well i got smoked by an m5 today, are they that fast or am I that slow? I had him for a while but he pulled away and was gone like the wind. We had a lot of open highway. I maybe could have caught up but i shut it down at about 130 or so. So whats up was it him or me?

a stock 06 does a quarter in 12.5 So... dunno. Was it from a stop? If from a roll then i think you should have won.

Well in my buddys M5 we hit 175 mph going uphill with 4 people in the car.......and his is not yet modded

1/4 mile or something you should have him but those cars just keep pulling out on the highway

i don't know if they are that fast but back when i boughtmy former 1994 cbr 600f2 i was able to keep pace (slightly ahead) of a V-12 mercedese 600SL coop. so i have no idea why you got smoked, maybe you need more practice HA,HA.. know but if it was a new M-5 they are realy fast the older ones were 333hp the new is much more so don'tfeel to bad.

Well if you were trying to this BMW M5 then I know why you got smoked. I work with the guy that owns it and have driven it. It is wild how much power it has.

I think the newer M5's are pushing over 500hp. Not sure if they are putting that to the ground or not, but very impressive to say the least. If you had him up to about 130 them I think you were doing just fine. Big hp really shows on the top end.
