Actually, the M5 would eat our S2000's alive on a track. About two years ago, CAR magazine in South Africa did a comparison between the M3 and M5 on the Kyalami circuit near Johannesburg. The M5 was almost a second faster around the track.

 

are you an absolute moron? how do you calculate power to weight ratio obi wan?
what a 'in idiot. 12.9s ay THAT is the dumbest thing ive heard on these forums in months. so i guess that means the M5 waxes c6 vettes ay, cause they have the same HP? your the one with the ricer math bud. get a grip. laters dave

 

Since we are calling names:

Insecure who likes to make up stories: Calculating horsepower to weight using the actual wheel horsepower is in fact *ta da* more accurate. Using ricer math and assuming you have a certain amount of horsepower -- as you do with your magical *cough* bullshit 275 number for your car is in fact -- less accurate.

You lost to a near stock 350Z -- but you can take M5's. Seriously, you stuck your foot in your mouth and demonstrated that you know next to nothing about cars and in general just make this shit up as you go along. Leave it at that. No need to make yourself come off as even dumber trying to defend a defensless point.

[QUOTE]12.9s ay

 

 

Depends which track. If you were on a tight, short, technical track the S2000 would have all the advantages. A while back Best Motoring did a run on the Tskuba circuit & even though they commented how nice the M5 was they said it was ridiculously heavy & not well suited for that track.

 

you missed many important details. pm me if youd like, for them. and im not the bench racer, i actually drive 4 hours, and race on cam. so that you will beleive my races. but as with other dense folk on here, you wont beleive anything unless you accomplished it. so sit down shut up, and let the educated folk who actually build and race their own cars continue the thread.

 

i havent butted heads with this guy in a while, this is a good thing.

 

Nope I did not miss your excuses, you lost.

I have no idea what that means. I suspect you have no actual licensed racing experience -- and even if you did that would in no way make your claimed 275 horsepower real nor your S2000 faster than an M5. Continue to divert attention from the original point -- which is you are dead wrong -- all you want.

 

S2000NVegas, you are one of the biggest retards I've ever encountered on a car forum.

Estimated flywheel HP and then a claim about power to weight?

Even considering the fact that power to weigh is everything? (forget power under the peak of the curve and gearing! that stuff doesn't matter!)

M5s run 12s all the time. Stock.
