Video of our trackday E55/M5

http://videos.streetfire.net/player....7-F8825AC6EDF3

Here you go guys. This is what I had Streefire.net upload. Not the best but at least you can see Alex's M5 and Spero's 11.63 run. I also have my friends 70 Cyclone in here. Let me know what you think. The 12.57 was the best run of the day for the M5. The in-car run is my car. I ran an 11.60 at 121.5 with a passenger in the car. Enjoy!

Did the M5 have any modifications? According to the video, it ran 11.7@125.74.

Ummmmm, no. The M5 is the black car. The car that ran a 11.7 is Spero's modded E55

That was you pal! Next time at the track we have to switch cars. I'll let you take the E55 down but you have to give me a shot at the M5.

Damn, I didn't know you wanted to take the M5 down the track. I would have gladly let you run my car bro. Heck I pretty much let everyone drive my car.

Yeah, Alex doesn't care. He gave me the keys and he probably thought I was going to go down the track. I put the car in reverse, turned around, and drove out of the complex to go try it on the street!!
