Dude, I don't have the time to pull the stats you looking for & even if I get them you will find a way to squirm out of it. If I find a car that traps 85mph on the 1/4 & then we talk about 0-15mph times, is that really going to helps?

So instead I'm going to pull a Bishop to Knight 4 checkmate move on your a$$. Let's see that superior intellect a work when the reverse is applied to you. Of course you know that whatever argument you squirm out, you will be prviding m with the same argument to use against you.

You state that although the M5 is 0.8 seconds faster than the E55 to 124mph, the 1/4 mile time will be similar. So I guess the same could be applied to an M5 & an SL/CL65. We've all seen the CL65 test where it got the same 0-124mph time as the M5, 13.8. But hey I love your excuses that that was a dud car, so I'll use all the tests I can find.

Here's the fastest 65:

& here's the slowest:

0 - 160 km/h 9,8 s
0 - 180 km/h 11,4 s
0 - 200 km/h 13,8 s

Now, the fastest 0-124mph for the 65 is 12.6.
The fastest 0-124mph for the M5 is 13.5 by Auto Bild.

The next fastest 65 test is 13.1
There are 2-3 tests of the M5 that got 13.8-13.9.

So it looks like the 65 is around 0.7-0.9 faster to 124mph.

So, my question is, forget about the badges on each car. Tell me again about your theory about 0-124mph & 1/4 mile times?

Very interesting M3 times on 1/4 mile

Um, I already did, monkey boy....here, remember??

And the data still stands: cars tested many seconds apart, far more than the 0.8 seconds separating the M5 and E55, in time-speed were shown to be tied in time-distance. As to your beloved batmobile-resembling M5, we shall find out soon enough. I know that in between jerk-off sessions to BMW magazine spreads, you love to bother people with your drivel, but so far, drivel is all you've got. You don't have any direct comparison test data of the two cars in a time to distance race. Come back when you do.

Now go away and cash the nice little check BMW wrote you to go plugging their cars for over three years now on Internet forums all over the world.

i assume youve already trolled it though, just couldnt bare the thought of commenting.

Wow, those modified M3's were running in the 12's, around one second faster than stock! You mean to tell us that heavily modified cars can run significantly faster 1/4 mile times than when they're stock? Who woulda thunk it....who could even fathom such a thing?

Well, maybe the owner of this 12 second Pontiac GT, a 14 second car when stock, (four speed auto to the M3's six speed manual) might have thunk it...

...or this 11 second Pontiac GTP, a 14 second car when stock,(four speed auto again)....

...or the owner of this 11 second Acura NSX (a low 13 second car stock)...

...or the owner of this 11 second Toyota MR2, a 17 second car stock...

...or the owner of this 11 second Audi S4, a 14 second car stock...

...or his fellow 11 second Audi S4 owner...

...or this 11 second Mazda Miata (a 17 second car stock)...

...or the owner of this 11 second Volkswagon Jetta, a 15 second car stock....

...or the owner of this 10 second C5 Corvette, a low 13 car stock...

...or the owner of this 10 second Supra, a mid 13 car stock....

...or the owner of this 10 second Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, a 14 second car stock....

...or the owner of this 10 second Honda Civic...

...or this 10 second Subaru WRX owner....

...or this 10 second Trans Am owner...

...or this 10 second Lexus SC300 owner...

...or this 10 second Mazda 323 owner....

...or this 10 second Chevy pickup owner....

...or this 9 second Mazda RX7 owner....

...or this 9 second Camaro owner....

...or this 8 second Mustang owner...

...or this 8 second Toyota Supra owner...

...or this 8 second 350Z owner....

...or this 8 second Viper owner....

....and you're in here bragging about modded M3's running 12's? Congratulations: there are modded Miatas, Civics, Grand Prix's, Jettas, RX7s, Mazda 323s, WRXs, and Chevy Pickups who will bury you.
