Geez, 130 mph trap speed! That's no joke! I remember being blown away by the C6 Z06 doing a mid 120's and setting up my boosted s2k to be as fast; now a 4 door DD can do that with just pressing down the accelerator! Love that blue you've got, btw!

Sure. I’ll post some today! It’s not super exciting though, a lot of black surfaces! The lighting is cool though if it’s dark.

I added another of the 3d camera, I think I might of posted before, but it’s very cool.

The c8 will be a match to 60, both in the high 2s (2.7-2.8)...after that...this car flys.
I leave it in 4wd, but the mode with 70% power to the rear, it will hang the ass out pretty hard in that mode though, caught me off guard the first time.

the handling is where it shines, especially considering its weight.

the standard car is 10th on the leaderboard and tied with a gt3 rs. A Michelin tired competition probably shaves another second off that time. Not scientific, but it’s obviously in a new realm for m5s on track. It’s feels light...except when braking. But, hopping out of it and into something like my older acr, it’s obvious it’s a heavy monster of a car.

interesting numbers from their Dyno. I would say 91-93 is really no different. The car feels every bit as fast as their numbers show.

So jealous. I want one or an E63S but want to wait a couple of years to save money.

Took a ride in my co-worker's M5, it's a beast - awesome all around everyday "practical" car.

A lot of the newer cars do all sorts of wonders and magic hiding their weight and you don't notice it until you step into something that is truly light weight. The other place you might notice it is in your consumables.
