Just a head up. Gustav has posted some nice videos the last few days: M6 vs. Z06, Modded M5 vs. 997TT. K4 vs stock M5 coming soon.

Well, at one time I was singing his praises for brilliant marketing of the M5, alas (if these videos look like I think) this has just gotten silly.
Gustav has NEVER posted a video on his little air strip of a new BMW losing so expect the W on all of these.
Puhhh-leasssse, a K4 pushing at most conservative est 600hp (some as high as 620+) and near infinity of torque is gonna lose to the friggin new M5. If it is a slow walk away from the M5, I will be back on the "brilliant Gustav marketing angle" again, but an stock M5 win over a 600hp car cabable of low 11's in the 1/4 is just ludicrous.
Next up on M5Board
Stock M5 beats Cruise Missle
Stock M5 beats Cloud to Ground Lightning
Stock M5 slowly walks away from light emitted from Alpha Centauri
Remember guys......when we first got these videos, all of us had no idea what the M5 would do so these vids were our only way of knowing.
Now the dragtimes verdicts are in.......oh it's fast, but not K4 beating fast.

I believe fastest non nitrous M5's are running 12.2-12.3. Very nice, but again, K4's run 11's all day long.
Not enough times posted to pass verdict on the M6 yet, just a couple of 12.5's. It can do much better than that for sure.

My friend has a new M6. The same one that ran the 12.9 @ 114 in Fontana with us. We raced heads up and I crushed him by at least 10 cars. Remember I only have K2 so the K4 should crush and I mean CRUSH the heavier stock M5.

Guys...I tell you the truth....I race many M5 and 2 M6, one moded one stock...
M5 moded or M6 dont stand a chance against K4 !!!
You should have seen I gap I made on stock M5 (not fully broken but still...there wouldnt be too mcuh diff...and I jsut had Headers at that time...
I runned many times with M6 Hamann 567 HP and till 200-220 (120-130 miles) and I was in front every time with just headers (primary cats (10rwhp) were not removed at that time)...K4 will destroy them, if not the I call
as well...

they aready posted the M6 getting the beat down by the Z06..... and they also posted the M6 vs Gallardo which was pretty much even....
I'm sure that K4 car won, but maybe not as much as everyone would think... there is NO way the car is making 640HP......

It says there its Klemann 620 HP K4...
Here Z06 was beaten by Hamann M6 567 HP (full exhaust and ECU) to 0-300 by 2-3 cars...Till 200-220 Z06 was pulling hard on M6 about 3 cars then M6 catched up abd beat Z06 at higher speed...

damn I just noticed I posted this message in another thread by accident.
I was on there and I didn't see any runs with the SL50K or the E55k4 ... no mention of them ... not in the teaser video ...
