dont worry i raced my buddies F10 M5 and i destroyed him by 5 lengths, yes my car is tuned only, however with the M5 tuned they do not gain as much as our M157 engines, will be a good race but still the E63 will come out ahead

NickyBlack

The new boss has arrived, i'll let you know when i get mine.

Love that new M5. The body style does it for me, reminds of the old school 90's bimmers.

vdubpower

i wanna be able to beat them with a tune

what was faster the e60 stock or the w211 e63 stck

NickE63

you will, but be a close race

vdubpower

No I meant stock to stock. I have essentially equal power and more torque. I must win

otakki

There is never enough hp and tq and the quest will never end. If I have to pick between the two induced engines, I would still go for the 5.5TT. Thus no worry for me.

AKnight55

5.5tt > 4.4tt

vdubpower

right so why are we losing.????? lol

Vic55

LOL who cares about dyno that "could" have been manipulated via the operator, conditions, roller weight, etc...

run the cars on the street and lets see who/what prevails.

I have no doubt the M5 rocks though and it does have less parasitic loss with its DCT vs our planetary auto (MCT). I have had 3 DCT cars and all have clearly benefited from the tranny speed and lack of hp/tq loss.

edit: just saw a post on the M5Board that a new M5 ran 11.9's at 120-121 mph...

NickyBlack

and to be honest both of these cars are beasts and i'm sure most people on this forum who argue over what dyno produces which number for which car, probably won't ever run these cars to their max potential to find out. It's above most people's comfort levels, but not mine.

Vic55

I just drove the new M5- impressive car. The steering is a bit tight but I lift weights LOL... the suspension is typical BMW taut which I like. The DCT really shines and basically pulls any perceived turbo lag. The car from cold start up had a pretty decent growl and I liked the amenities inside including the Heads Up display and the I Drive wide screen.

Id get it. Why? Because its a more involving driver at 4200 lbs plus than any other car I know out there. My CLS is faster with a tune but Im not so sure stock vs stock and I have a PP car.

vdubpower

good bye cls, hello m5???

NickE63

CLS 63 vs F10 M5 would be close but i got my money on the M5 pulling lil, E63 would maybe do better, I raced my buddies F10 M5 and demolished him by 5 lengths and gave him a head start with my tuned E63, tune vs tune i still think our benz will come out ahead

NickyBlack

Speculations is one thing, but there is only one way to really find out.
i think somebody on m5post ran a 11.7 with a stock car out the box

Vic55

I think this is true 11.7 stock- traps were 119 range which I was hoping for more though.

otakki

Do you like it more than your CBS?

Vic55

No way.... The CBS is awesome--- best driving AMG Ive ever owned. But the M5 is in a different category.

I dont care about any recall... Ill let them iron it out and probably get the car anyways.

vdubpower

u guys see the new motortrend, rated the cbs and the 911 as the top two driving cars..nice

hopefully they will have on at amg academy to drive

Vic55

I was singing the praises of the CBS prior to this--- I really do think its the best AMG Ive ever owned (CLS faster but so what). I was crushing it yesterday in the CBS locally and the car is just a wonder; the sounds it makes on up shifts and blips is amazing.

Power is nothing without control!!

vdubpower

can i go for a ride with you please........

Vic55

in which car ....

vdubpower

uhhhhh the rexus......

mainly

yes i saw this post too.

its definately possible for high 11's.

i trapped 119.8 myself my first time out in the f10, and im still pretty new at drag racing so i suck. lol.

of course from a roll the tuned 5.5 tt will walk the m5, it has like an extra 120 hp!!! and an extra 200 lbft !!!!!!!

but i think stock for stock from a roll, the m5 will pull on the pp 5.5tt
