hahahaha good one Rat.


Jakub answering your questions:
1.Can you spank a M5?
Can you spank an M5 with a good driver in it? Remember when Khalid Bin Hader wopped yours on my car NA. its all about the driver. You just spanked one M5 on 350 meters where the M5 never launched properly.

2.Can you overtake cars in 6th gear without downshifting?
Get an automatic car Jakub! lol

3.Can you overtake anyone without reving the shit out of it?
Yes! Do you stay on the same RPM and your turbo senses a car in front to overtake? lol

4.Can you break traction from a roll?
I have a spare diff, do you? Why are you on the look for one?

It looks like everyone wants his car to do something else and that's why he tunes it his way. Don't you think guys?
And Umair what has a good driver to do with a M5? It's not manual and you can clearly see that he started before me so a good launch has also nothing to do with it as i overtake him during the run, not at the start.
And NO I do not remember when Bin Hader wopped anything, we can try any time again.
Lap times have more to do with driver, I thought we are discussing cars here.
The turbo made my car more fun to drive for me, if 220whp in the year 2007 is enough for you and enjoy yours.

Since today's family saloons for the same amount of money are door to door with tuned sports cars I guess it is

With all the respect to your driving skills, you have to admit that if you would drive a 997s on the same compound rubber as you did on the S, you would overlap your S2000 driven by the guy from the 997s in 5 laps. Same goes for the M3 or a C6. That is all good set-up, sticky rubber, track experience...not power of the car, isn't it? Once you OVERATAKE a M5 within 350m, that's power

My car turned out to be a street toy, not a track monkey
