I heard the Z06 did pretty well when he didn't miss gears!

What about the E55, was it stock or tuned? How did he do?

From what I've read (and what I remember reading lol)

Supra was fast but blew up.
M5/M6 was faster than E55/CLS55.
ML63 was very fast for a truck.
Tuned M5/M6 were total beasts.
RUF 911 was a monster and was faster than Carrera GT (which is obviously fast).
Z06 was a bit faster than Carrera GT and SLR but driver couldn't shift. If the driver was good then it would have been a victory for the Z06.

how did the M3 do? do you know what mods it has? i like alot.
I don't see a M3

To clear up an issue for other posters, Gustav has an E39 M5.

Phil- the RS4 vert is unfortunately meant to drive like a pig, which is a shame as the fixed head model goes like a dream. If you want the wind in your hair, stick with your BM.

Would've been intersting to see how a Renntech StageII SL65 would've handled the route from 0-200mph

I agree it's (1) bad MFKR, but wish he finished her off w/some Black limo tint! & is that rear Caliper mounted wrong? Isn't it supposed to be mounted on the right side of the rotor?
