Just got rocked by a new m5
 

I was sitting at a stop light, and two lanes to the left of me was sitting a m5, I didt know it was their. The light turns green and I go about my everyday driving, and I hear something fly by me and its a brand new green m5. So I catch up, my mistake, it would of been closer from a dig since the m5 is alot heavier. So we go from a 40 roll and he flys by me like im standing still at 11psi. He must of beat me by 5 to 6 car lengths. Damn, that motor sounded AMAZING, it was some 16yr old kid, his dad owns evan oil company, he has that and alot of other cars. In conclusion dont race an m5 unless you have some serious power. I would say im at 285whp and it wasnt even close. I wasnt expecting a win but wasnt expecting an all out slaughter either :(

daddy's car.

285hp vs 500hp
He does weigh 4000lbs though.

what other power mods do you have besides the ones in your sig? i wouldn't think you would have 285 from those. plus doesnt verical door kit add quite abit of weight along with your 18's, and sideskirts?

sideskirts are cf they weigh maybe 2lbs. I have fmic midpipe 5spd tranny and powerfc now. Just havent updated my sig in a long time.

yes but how much does the vertical door kit weigh?

20lbs tops for both. I installed it my self and the hinges arent heavy.

Somebody get this boy more MODS!!! :)

im thinking your not even making 285... but what do i know?


nice death... i want to mess around with an m5 hehehe...

M5's also have one of the baddess tranny in a factory car.......7 speed seq. baby!!!! M5's are the shit.......v10 @ 8500 rpm's= hard on......

They are quick. Here's a video for 0 - 60

your not makin 285rwhp with those mods...

maybe 285 fwhp.....

Damn.. Cant wait to see one of those on the highway..

You've gotta stop buying body kit pieces, and get you some engine mods.

I can't wait to smoke one of these new BMW's.

bingo!!! correct me if im wrong but an intercooler doesn't add hp it just allows you to run more boost which in turn makes hp. so if someone is running 10psi on a stock intercooler and they switch to v-mount or greddy 2 or 3 row ect. and still run stock boost they aren't going to add hp is that correct?

Actually if you have a less restrictive intercooler, ie More efficient CFM's, then you can make more power at the same boost level. When I added mine I made more than 20rwhp at the stock 10psi ( the boost went up to 11+ and car was hitting boost limiter so I had to turn the boost down since it was flowing more than the stock one ) . It might have to do with the turbos running less restrictive, thus producing less heat which in turn means a more dense O2 content even before the intercooler, but then again I'm no thermodynamics expert.

tell me how these mods arent 285whp at 11psi.
Intake
Downpipe
midpipe
exhaust
intercooler
pfc and tune.

dont forget the lambo doors. those are about 50hp to the front wheels.

Weight will matter anywhere. From a dig, you probably would've seen the same result.

The new M5s are nice, but I'm still not too impressed with their weight and torque output. The upcoming E63 AMG is going to be something though...meaning the entire performance sedan market is going to be producing some serious competition.

you might be but you didn't say that you had it tuned, do you have the wastegate ported? by who? i'll be bringing my FD down to tampa in a few weeks...we should meet up somewhere.

A better Intercooler can further reduce intake temps which will in turn produce more power as well.

Theres a Dinan M5 I've seen on the way to work almost every day of the last couple weeks. He's always going heavy on the throttle, and that thing sounds mean. I can't wait till I get my car back from A-spec and I see that guy on the street. Its gonna be on! I'm gonna try to get it on video too. :)

I'll be pushing well over your ~285 HP so it should be much more interesting.

he easily has ~300 more hp than u, what are u thinking?!!???

i'd say its possible, assuming you have a very good tune done

Your talking to the original poster right?

507HP - 285HP = 222HP
