A "yeah, right" thread on the BMW M5 race stories forum:
Now, stop and think about this: if we charitably assume that he spent about 4 minutes reading the posts and responding on each one, that means he's spent about 456 minutes on each one. This comes out to 27,360 seconds.
Now, despite his claim of beating a CL55 from a dead stop, it has become clear that he can't launch for ****. Why? Well, for one, he insists on racing from a roll, and for two, he'd only go to Moroso if his friend can drive for him. So, I'm thinking that he couldn't turn any better than a 14.0 in his M5.
Which means that in the 27,360 seconds he's spent here wasting our time, telling lies, and making lameass excuses, he could have done 1,954 1/4 mile runs.
Which more than anything else tells you how desparately he wants to avoid this race at any cost.
Which is why he keeps making excuses and not showing up.

excuses, excuses, excuses...Why should anyone bother with you when you've been proven beyond any shadow of a doubt to be a liar. Go to Moroso like you promised, liar.

That's six chances in all that the members of this forum have given you to "make your point", loser...how many do you need? You are simply a joke. Even your fellow Bimmer owners now see how full of it you are.
Moderators, this is getting ridiculous...this has been going on for three months now, with no show from APK....clearly this punk is nothing more than a troll who has no inclination to show up at the track as he promised to do...I vote it's time to shut him down. If he wants to show up at Moroso, he can PM Benzo, SGC, or others.

He's nothing more than a chicken**** little punk with nothing but empty air and excuses. I say ban his worthless ***, let him go back to trolling the Bimmer forums where people might be stupid enough to buy his BS.
When this whole thing started on M5Board, his fellow Bimmer owners were telling him that he should show up and represent, and not make the BMW owners look bad. Too late!
The Best of Mercedes & AMG

A friggin' little old lady in a Buick could probably stomp your *** at a light, given how desparately you're trying to avoid it.
The bottom line is that nobody here believes your bull**** (as if anyone ever did). You're a liar, have been proven to be a liar, and could have settled this thing on any of seven previous occasions by going to Moroso as you promised to do. You've been claiming that "ready to go" from day one, but the thing is, you never show up!!
Be a man, and go to Moroso like you promised. Until then, your lies are exposed for all to see:
First time:
If you want to go to Moroso one night, e-mail me.
Second time:
I will do my best!!!
Fourth time:
Fifth time:
Stop wasting our time, and show up. You keep talking, but for some reason, you keep avoiding the "real world" of Moroso and instead insist on repeated ruses and diversions to try and mask this fact. Talk is cheap!
I repeat: when are you going to Moroso??
I am gonna go to the track but I have exams all week for school. I didn't go last week because of a problem that I told SGC about. The only thing about the track is that I am most likely not going to put up times that equate to my car's potential right off the bat because I have never gone to the track before. I am going to have to get used to it then put up times that equate to my car's actual performance. I think this is understandable

The guy who maintains that site is *extremely* meticulous, and I can assure you that the numbers he's put there are accurate. He is also the proud owner of an E46 M3.
And if Bilal's data is accurate, when the playing field was made a bit more level by using an SL with a speed limiter set higher, it trounced the M5 by several seconds, not just one...the one second run was done with its speed limiter 15 mph slower than the M5's according to Bilal...very impressive.
Hmm, do you have center of gravity for both cars? The SL is built on the S-class chassis--a four door sedan.
i'm not questioning the source, i'm just curious about the large difference.
You've got to admit it seems out of place considering all the other trap speeds and cornering speeds.
Considering its a large lap there isn't really practical to keep lapping around until you get a time you can't better. This means that theres bound to be a minor mistake here or there and maybe brake fade would come into play (esp the M5 based on reports).
I don't think delimiting the SL55 would be the whole reason for the 6 seconds difference but a natural variation in the car and conditions would be partly the cause too. Its alot to make up in the top end
i just assumed that the SL had a lower COG just by looking how much lower it looks, and a still have a hunch it does have a lower COG despite your claim. I just noticed that the M5 looks very tall and narrow, but it is still a speculative claim on my part.
i agree with you and i'd never purchase a car based on its track time, more important is how the car feels in everyday driving.
The stock M5 runs about a 13.0. Mine is not stock, so the idea that my claim is implausible just shocks me.
Be a man, and go to Moroso like you promised. Until then, it's pretty easy to determine what a liar you are simply by reading the following in light of your current refusal to go to Moroso:
First time:
If you want to go to Moroso one night, e-mail me.
Second time:
I will do my best!!!

Road & Track got 13.3 @ 108; in same test, E55 AMG ran a 12.4 @ 116:
Road & Track also tested the M5 in March 2000, where it ran a 13.4 @ 107.8
Car & Driver gets 13.4 @ 108; in same test, E55 AMG ran a 12.5 @ 116
Car & Driver also tested an M5 in March of 2000, where it ran a 13.3 @ 107.
Again, you could settle this if you'd honor the original deal you made (as you can see, my original challenge, which you accepted and promised to honor, was to go to a TRACK) and show up at the track, but we all know why it is you don't want to go: for the same reason you want your friend to do the driving for you: you can't drive for ****, and you know it.
What's really sad about this is that you seem to honestly believe that there is someone out there reading this crap you're shoveling who believes it.
You're really pretty pathetic, dude...hope you learned a lesson from all of this.

You're really pretty pathetic, dude...hope you learned a lesson from all of this.[/QUOTEIn one of the tests, Motor Trend tested a E39 M5 at 13.00- 13.1. @ about 110 (it was few years back). Maybe it was the conditions, maybe it was a really strong engine, maybe he was very deft at launching, or maybe he took a sh*t before he ran the car, who relly cares. Give it a rest, and let it go
The point is that the overwhelming majority of tests were in the 13.3-13.4 range, which doesn't support the argument that "stock the M5 runs about a 13.0".
And this thread isn't about what a test driver has done; it is about getting APK to support his BS claim that he, from a dead stop, pulled a supercharged CL55 AMG to 110 mph. Again: APK has had numerous invitations to show up at a track and settle this, has promised to show up even more times than he was invited, but refuses to go.
Which doesn't support his claims either.
As to giving it a rest: no. As soon as he goes away, we'll stop throwing his lies up in his face, but he will NOT be getting the final word in this matter. We went to a great deal of trouble to arrange a get-together, this wuss didn't show to it or to any of the times SGC invited him to go to the track, and he's still talking smack.
But talking is all he does. If you want to support such a liar, fine, but I would suggest you go back and read this thread in its entirety before casting your lot with this loser.
Anyone? APK keeps claiming that all of these Mercedes drivers are saying that the E55 will "smoke" the CL55...who are you? Stand up and be counted.
Motor Trend's test of CL55: 0-60: 4.27 sec.; 1/4 mile: 12.38 @ 114.45:
Motor Trend's test of E55: 0-60: 4.2 sec.; 1/4 mile: 12.39@ 116.21:
So, Mercedes owners who claim that an E55 will "smoke" the CL55, please explain the previous test results.
Hot Rod magazine did weight reduction on a car without any other mods to its engine or driveline, and found the following:
And you know this, which is why you refuse to go. Tell us: is your new meeting going to be at the track, assuming you show up at all?
You're doing the same thing as last time: agreeing to meet to temporarily take the heat off, and then you'll conveniently have something else to to when the time comes.

I'm shaking in my boots, chief. Try not talking **** about superior cars if you don't like getting called out on your bull**** claims and lies.
Just because it is 50,000 more dollars doesn't make it superior either. The M5 will outhandle it any day of the week. So i guess a cobra with a pulley and no cats is also superior to all of the cars. You are a real joke. I told you what happened, you are wasting your time fighting it. You will have an easier time proving that the sky is pink because I and the guy I ran know exactly what happened.
