Re: Annihilated an '08 BMW M5 today!

My girlfriend would have been saying; "can't we get one of those BMWs instead of this redneck car" Great girl, but hates Corvettes with a passion.

The M5 is a cool car, but it's never gonna win a race with a Z06.

It's also a V10 with Paddle Shifters/Auto and there was just the driver vs me and my g/f. It's supposed to be a much closer 0-60/ 1/4 mi. time than it was - that's all.

Yep, they watch those goof ball editors of the rags put their tests together, like the recent thread about the GT2 vs the C6 Z06, and the editors little BS driving skills (well most of them, not all).....then they go "hunting".
Maybe it's an underworld plot to humiliate themselves in the real world....not the editors' made up "test world".

A great car though the M5. I've now had mine since March, and drive it nearly every day. Love the thing. Awesome build quality and a great sounding engine.

Even the CTS-V beats the M5, see the July issue of Motor Trend.
