Well that's hilarious

I post one thread about a video, made by car enthutiasts, for car enthutiasts. And already a troll...


Have to quote you on the 1/4, to me it seems like you would get pretty smoked then. Judging by the video, aye?

At the looks of that video the M5 must be the fastest car on the streets. Very funny video. I am assuming you are joking about the race right? You were in a Geo not an SL55 right.

Good God! After watching that just imagine how badly an E55 or CLS55 with a decent driver would school that guy in his SL55. It would be nuts.

No joke. I heard that Guinness already updated their latest records to include the E60 M5 as the fastest street car ever made, based on the videos that have been posted of it beating every single car it goes against.

Wow, it just so happens that you fit all 3 criteria -- you live in Denmark -- basically Scandanivia, have only 2 posts, and drive an E60 M5.

Btw, I heard the new M5s run high 9's out of the box. Seriously, NOTHING can touch them, not even funny cars...I am just waiting to see it live with my own eyes

Pfff big deal, i exactly know what happened, SL55 put the pedal down and didnt get any traction at all, that what happened when i raced STI in my E55 once, 55 engines has so much torque that it is hard to launch that car without either ESP cutting the power, or big wheel spin.

They did say they raced a few times so I doubt the launch was the issue. Probably the supercharger ceased or something like that.

sweet Morten. I guess you really showed us. Oh wait thats right.... does anyone really give a s*** nor do they actually believe that video is completely true.

I guess I do have to give him credit, at least we don't have small enough *ahem* egos to go post some videos of E55s on other forums slaughtering other cars but to each their own. :v

I wish one day... maybe one day... I can have as much class as Morten.
That would be nice....

Bottom line, go to trackchallange.com look specs of both cars, 0-200 Identical numbers, 13.8, after that M5 would win due to 7 gearbox.

ENd of story. Get over it.

Bring it on M5 lover. I won't look like a monkey on video next to you! Oh and by the way we are going to run from a dead stop to 155. You'll be lucky if you can tell what state my tag plate is from when your rev limiter kicks in.

Everyone who said that was being sarcastic, lol! We all know that Vid was a laughable example of staged racing at its finest.

What that video didn't show was the SL driver busy chatting out his window to a car full of sorority girls who were fawning over his car. I don't think anyone noticed the M5 other than the guy holding the camera.

:p

In that video SL55 got smoked...Cause the you need to know how to launch with all that torgues...

Why is everybody find excuses for SL55...Deal with it, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose...it happens...

E55 is faster then SL55 cause it weight about 120kg less...

Its not the fact that the SL55 lost that makes everyone think this Vid is staged. Its the way the M5 ran away from the SL55. The M5 MIGHT be a faster car in some situations, but there is no way it could run away as it did from an SL55 going full bore unless the race was staged or the SL55 was indeed talking to that car full of Sorrority chicks. NO WAY. Aint happnen' Bra! :p
