Very nice pick up! It seems to be running pretty strong. I can't wait to see how the new wheels look on it.

Vic,

Any issues with traction in first and second gear? (heard some m5 members complain). Test drove an f10 last night and man that interior, comfort and most importantly that dct is lightning years ahead of mct.

Very limited issues in my short run- the active differential in the M5 is always working changing lockup percentages. I find it easier to launch than a Benz PP car but this is also due to less tq. I have had very few hard dig launches that had excessive wheel spin but I did work the throttle correctly IMHO.

Whenever you have 500 plus tq on tap one still needs to be cognizant of the throttle and some members just think they can mash an go like its a gtr or 997TT

Yes the DCT basically makes this car amazing along with the interior.

I agree, the GTR does feel numb compared to the 997.2TT. Do you still have your GTR Vic? I just dumped both my 13BE & 11TT and picked up a 13TTS. Best overall car bro.

You got the one at Walters? I think mine 11 tt is faster with the EVomsIT since their tune pushes it past the stock S levels.

I saw it there for 150 or so right...

No, I passed on the TTS at Walters because it has TAN interior, I got the TTS from Beverly Hills Porsche and I'll do the EVomsIT soon.

What color?

FYI the gains for your car will be less than mine since you start with more HP--- but the EvomsIT will even you out..

Another great addition, Vic. Amazing taste and interesting to hear your insight as an owner. Can we please see the fleet as one, or at least a video the M5 vs the C63BS?

Congrats again bro.

LOL--- I have the cars-- the GTR is going away and so is the CLS to make room for another

I dont really ever take pics myself (you should have figured this out) and no one else drives my cars so its a little more difficult to get em all together.

Congratulations she's beautiful ! You sir have Excellent taste in cars, not to mention the best ones money can buy IMO enjoy that DCT I hear its a beast.
One other thing do u know by chance if Dinan will have a tune out for the F10 soon? I know the 550i s can get up to 500hp and 580 FT-LBS with a tune from them. I just wanna see a tuned M5 vs cls/E with a tune from renntech or kleeman.

What's stopping you from driving it more than 2K per year bro? I've already logged more than 4K in my CGT since October of this year. These cars are meant to be driven not garage queen Vic. Merry Xmas bro
