I'm going to have to head out at 2pm to go take my final exam at Georgetown. I got lucky enough to talk my teacher into letting me take my test at 3pm instead of 11am Funny thing is this is the same class that I had to take my test early for the last track day!

I had a BLAST! It was FREEZING cold but it was worth it. I'll let everyone say what they ran themselves. Lets just say that the M5 is DEFINITELY NOT faster than the E55 in the quarter. Unfortunately we could not run side by side because of some BS insurance policy. It was alot of fun and everyone that didnt come out missed out!

Capitol. It was really cold and difficult for those of us running street tires. There was a wicked head/crosswind. It was at least 20 degrees cooler than our last trip and my car was trapping LOWER today.

I'll start a new thread for our results.

Thanks for letting me make some passes in the car, Alex. I really enjoyed it. The car is a monster up top. Once someone makes an ECU update to bring the LC rpms up, it will be a contender at the drags.

Anyone who bags on the M5 should 1) see one up close and 2) drive it. They look great in person and the driving experience is something that is not to be missed

BMWNA is so stupid to cripple the LC in their flagship sport saloon. That's their f'ing fault. If anyone chooses to reprogram the ECU for better LC launches, then the car is no longer "stock" and CANNOT have any bragging rights on the drag strip!

As for the M5, I do agree that it looks better in person than in photos. The car is just not photogenic, but it drives nice
