Hey fellas, I am new to this board but I have monitored it for the last year. I knew when "The Lank" made the comments on the M Board it would spark another heated debate and he was feeding himself to the fire. The guy is obviously new and has not done much research of the two vehicles. Maybe, give him a break? It is not like he came to this board and attacked you guys.
Now, as for him wanting to race for pinks, that is a different story! I hope if and when this happens you guys will document it. He is asking for it! You guys are extremely confident in your cars so someone should take him up on it. He might be talking sh*t, who knows.
As for myself...I really like both cars. They are both different and awesome in their own way. Knowing what I know now about modding them, I might have gone with an AMG. From what I have seen though, the M5's best 1/4 has logged a 12.2 and the 55/63 is high 11's in stock form with good drivers/best conditions. No doubt, MB has the best car for the 1/4 but it is definitely a driver’s race in everyday conditions. M cars I think are either equal or have a slight advantage in on the roll situations. I am really not sure why this is such a debate...ITS WELL DOCUMENTED! I have personally never raced an AMG (never see any down here) but would love to. I have seen lots of videos that go both ways and would like to find out for myself. I am non-biased and to me, it’s all in good fun.
I am not by any means calling anyone out but if there is a board member in the south Texas area that would like to get together for some friendly runs than please PM me. I would like to do different race scenarios and yes even from a dig. Win or lose, I will post the results with video on the M5 Board.
Being a former GSXR rider I am with you guys on the bike comment. Anything over a 600 that is made in 2000+ will take either one of these cars.
Just my two cents!

when 6sp M5 came out i was very curious what their first hand reviews were about the car
lurking that forum for info on it, saw some crazy opinions, stuck up noses, and ridiculous arguments w/out any consideration for other makes or models except m5 m5 m5 you get the picture. tunnel vision stuff.

Seriously Cylinder.. I don't know which signature has caused me more eye damage.. the one you have up now or the one that you took down with the girls making out on the balcony....
I simply can't focus... By the way, maybe you should start a thread with all the pics.. Those who don't like it or are offened by it, don't open the thread.

When the "Sanjay" clip comes up, its like there's this little voice in the back of my head keeps saying "watch the boobies, feel the boobies, be the boobies", and when I next look at the clock, something like 1-2 hours have passed. Hypnotic. They are fine art in motion.
