C32 vs M5
I was on my way to work and a '06 M5 flew by me and then he slowed down waiting for me to catch up. I did not want to race since I knew he was gonna blow my doors off. Ayways he was going back and forth a few times.. he was in front of me doing 50-60 and he floored it and I did the same. It was at about 80-90 when I passed him and was in front of him about 1 1/2 - 2 car lenghts. At about 110 mph had to slow down because there were cars in all 3 lanes. I passed a car in one of the lanes at about 70mph and the M5 was right behind me and I floored it again going up to 130pmh and he was 2 car lenghts behind me. We stop at the next light and he just stared at the car. My car is pretty much stock I guess he just did not know how to drive.

He could've been in the comfort mode of 400HP. so it is very possible that you won since the M5 is a lot heavier than your C32. I know our C32's can walk away from the older M5's and they are rated at 390HP.

yah im gonna have to agree on this one....my ex had an older M5 and she was a damn good driver. although her M5 did not walk away from me, it did pull on me at least a car, maybe more. if i remember correctly, i think it had an exhaust and intake.

I don't know if you met my friend Arvy with the white E55 but I know he'd love to run you up to whatever speed you want and for $ if you want too.

Yeah stallion, will you be getting a vig from him raping me with a highly modded E55 vs. my STOCK M5? No thanks dude!! I've seen his car, heard it, watched it accelerate. Its more of a job for the supra, and daddy doesn't race for money anyway. I gamble for a living, in my spare time the most I'll bet is lunch.

You're right. I think I based it on a few threads I read before, but after searching for more threads, it seems be more of a drivers race since the 2 cars are very similar in performance.
