gotta have the proverbial "but in the twisties".
"we raced from a dig...m's are better from an 80mph roll."
"my smg blew up."
"damned u.s. launch control."

My car just is slower on Tuesdays.
AMG cars emit a frequency detrimental to the terminal timing units.
"Whats a TTU"
Oh that is the preferential shifting point that computer determines after depression of the full 500 hp coordinator button located next to the Idrive portal fusion triplicator.
"So you cannot just depress the pedal and go?"
Ha thats what makes this a driving experience vs just a driving car like the AMG.
Hey race you on Wednesday , Im sure the car will run better

Ahhh Jeez I missed a shift and bent all the valves. I can't believe it. No compression so I can't continue.

This is all interesting and (at least for some posts), pretty creative.
Even though the M cars have proven slower down the 1/4 mile track here in the US (I don't even think that point is debatable any longer), most M owner's will never acknowledge that the 1/4 mile means anything. So for those who believe that high speed races are really "where it's at", the majority of videos out there, whether you want to call them bogus, engineered, orchestrated, or mistaken (like racing an E550 and calling it an E63) are of M cars walking away at speed.
In fact, I know of ONLY 3 videos that show 55's walking away from M cars at speed. One is SleeperX's car pulling on a heavily modded M5 here in the US. One (or three different ones of the same cars) is of Kamzamg pulling on an M6. One is a highway run in Europe with a K2 car pulling on an M at speed. There may be another that I am forgetting, but that's about it.
So for those AMG owners (myself included) that believe that there is absolutely no way in hell a properly-running K4 loses to a stock M6, let's see some video. Otherwise, expect more of the same.
I'd love to have some runs with an M car, but they don't seem to show up at the strip. And every time I run into one in the street, he or she is usually heading in the other direction or the circumstances are just not safe for a race.
