clicking the link adds the dots in between. im too high to expplain further right now but thats whats wrong

 

[Duke]

Video works. Not much of a surprise really. The AMG takes it first because of it's torque, then afterwards the higher-revving higher BHP M5 overtakes it.

notice how its from m5board

anyway. since the m5 is the best sports sedan for bmw race it with the best of mercedes s65 sedan. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds for a luxury sedan thats almost as fast as the diablo which does it in 4.1 seconds

Yeah, but look at engine sizes. The M5 does it with 5 litres. That Merc has 5.5 already, supercharged. And that incredible 6.5 litre AMG engine even has twin turbo's.

A CL or S 65 AMG would obliterate an M5 though.

Not the new M5 coming out.

no, race it with the same category of car. the E55 AMG is the direct comparison to the M5. Also the M5 is naturally aspirated whilst the E55 AMG is supercharged. The S65 is a 6 litre with much more BHP.
Im half expecting AMG to roll out a wheelbarrow anytime soon with the amount of AMG cars there are

The new M5 just came out, mister. They're not gonna make multiple M5's in one year

And ken, not only is the engine a lot bigger, the AMG65 has twin turbos too. So that would be really unfair
