Well we knew we'd be shredded to pieces if we didn't get everything right. I mean, you guys are animals, and M5 guys are even worse. I could see the questions coming, "What mode was the SMG in? P500 or P500Sport? Was the DSC off? What gear were you in? What RPMs?" My car was on HIGH ALERT the entire time, revved to the max and spring loaded for war. I mean hell, my opponent had 100 horses on me and some decent weight reduction.

Like I've said before, I've taken 63's and 55's on the highway. People didn't believe me, now you see that a K2 SL only puts a length on my car during a very FAIR run. We will be modding both our cars ever further (mine's still stock but not for long), so wait and see.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the videos. Thanks for all the compliments guys. Sky and I definitley wanted to do this right and document this right. Like he said, if we didn't get it right, everyone would jump all over us. We have much more to show you guys in the future. We have some mighty plans.
Sky repped his M5 hardcore to the max boys. But what I really wanted to find out was if my mods really improved my car that much. It definitley did. I've been in stock M5's and M6's that have walked away from plenty of stock E55's and 63s on the highway. I'm very happy with what I got. 1 car length for my heavy a$$ SL55 on the M5 means a lot. Especially since the M5/6s are known and infamous for walking cars the faster they go. Top end they are unbelievable machines.
Hopefully Sky's clutch can take a few more runs as we plan to do a few more from 15-20 mph up to whatever and however fast we can go. I'd like to see if I can put more lengths on him from lower speeds. We also want to document some runs from a dig. That would be interesting because that's where my LSD will shine.

IF we can get traction. All we succeeded in doing from a dig yesterday was A. Creating a large cloud of smoke and B. Spilling coffee all over the interior of my car.

Yo CH- your car in stock format rocks and sounds great. Lets see:
3.91 gears
Pulleys
Headers
Exhaust
ECU
I think the outcome would greatly differ... I love our benzo's but its the M5's and M6's that have all the vids hitting 200+ mph. Great cars.

new balance
nice runs, the cool air we have been having on the East Coast helps out immensely, those Ms are pretty quick on the hwy, obviously not unbeatable stock or modified. CH, time to make that V10 breath a bit better, oh maaaan does it scream with exhaust

Hi! I was there with Sunny and Sky. I just want to tell everyone that it was so much fun yesterday. So exciting, and I was doing all the filming. I was so scared too. Too bad my little silver doesn't go as fast as their cars.

Theres a guy who lives around me (white plains), he posts on the M5boards...he has an Eisenmann exhaust on his M5 and it just makes you everytime he flies by.
CH, you still own the Supra right? That should feed your need for
speed lol. I saw the dyno vids and can only imagine how it must pull on a high speed highway roll. You have the ultimate combination of cars, hopefully in a few years I can have a similiar garage...mad props bro.

You serious about selling your Supra? I am looking for a fully built one and may be interested in the next two months or so. PM me what ball park the price would be. I have seen numbers that vary quite a bit. Thanks

Ah forget it. I give up. Anybody here want a 2003 pre-owned SL55 bone stock?
I already got my M5/AMG eater

Very Nice!
I would have liked to see that with a little less traffic... Dangerous to split that car.
Very Good Though.
Next time keep the Windows CLOSED! Wind resistance you know... It would make a difference @ 140 +

Only reason the window was down was to get better footage for everyone here! And my windows are slightly tinted too, so maybe next time for the 15-20 mph rolls and from a dig we will have someone filming in CH's car.
Thanks!
