Default EVO 9 , MY 02 S2k vs MY 06 M5

Well me and my buddy with a EVO 9 w/ bolt ons were cruisin GSP south in dirty jersey. We were headed to a Go Cart place. Im in the front with my friend behind me when I see a MY 01-02 3 series trying to cut us off figures..every time he tries to get in front of me i just speed up a lil bit. Sort of like tease...

All of a sudden I see a MY 06 5 series also starting to pace. I chuckle but i quickly turn serious when I see the 20in OEM rims and the front bumper diffusers oh crap! We quickly trap him on the 3 lane highway. We could tell he was itching to get past us Me and my Friend both go WOT. The M5 lets us take a 10 car lead then he went WOT. I was going approx. 105-110 MPH when he flew right by us like we were standing still He then proceeded to drive like a dick through every one else.. I knew what was goin to happen but I still wanted to see it in action

I got to spend a little time with the 8 cyl. M5 and couldnt stand it. The throttle was the ONLY thing I liked. Everything else felt super sloppy (suspension, steering, shifter). I would not be comfortable driving that thing like I do the S2K. But man was that power addictive...bet the 10 is a beast!

I would have loved to have been there in my EVO.......

I smoked an 05-06 M5 from a 70-130 MPH roll on I80 westbound 1-2 summers ago...and this was on my stock turbo set-up....
05-06 M5s are 2 completely different cars v8 vs v10. no doubt that you passed an 05, but 06+ are a lot faster

06+ M5 puts down roughly 404-410whp on their " 500hp mode ". I guess that tranmission is roubbing alot of power. I also seen 63 model AMG putting down the same numbers. You guys can youtube it and it show the amount of power they put down.

They're 19's not 20's and yes the E60 M5 is a monster on the highway.
