The driver of the M6 said his car was stock, but I have my doubts...

Damn, talk about silent but deadly. That S65 just wafts its way to an M5 spanking. Very cool, the car is so smooth and seemingly quiet, it doesn't even seem like it's bulldozing through the air like a rocket ship on wheels.

CTS-V's rock BTW. I don't think the car in the OG Video is running right, but either way, how are you guys saying an M5 can take it up top? I'd assume with the V's extra HP, it shouldn't be a problem. Although I know the M5's are geared to, and really shine in the high high speeds.

The trap speed for the CTS-V is way off, like others have said, which helps explain how the M5 literally walks by it after the 1/4 mile.

Here is some video for you guys to fight over aswell.
The m5 with SMG is FASTER than the CTS-V.. It traps higher from multiple places i have seen the 2 be put up aganist eachother, maybe the 6MT M5 might lose. As for the OP video, the M5 is trapping higher by the 1/4mile, cant compare track times and such to a E-timed airfield run as was done here with others time. Elevation, temp, track and equipment used all vary and as will the traps. Plus the M5 got a late start it seems.

Hey, not taking a shot at you but that M5 is modded. He had lighter 360 rims and was looking into CAI, race exhaust, and other mods way back when. It belongs to Jose08M5 (at m5board) which many m5board members believe is just an alias for Jordan from 360 Forged. His car is as "stock" as 360 was a good company. It runs a 12 second quarter mile.

^ good info.. But the M5 walked the Is-f aswell, which what i expected for stock M5 vs a intake/no cats IS-F...
If it was as modded as you say, The M5 would have beaten the is-f by alot more, the IS-F was actually sticking with it for a little. So maybe it was NOT really modded?
