Z28 vs M5
Pulled up next to a Blue M5 today at the light. It was the E39 version, 99 through 03 model. The guy looked in his fifties and had his wife in the car, well i assume thats who she was. We get going and i didnt expect him to actually want to run, i was wrong. I see the front of his car raise up so i hit it, i shut off at about 80. Put about 2 cars on him, he wasnt the greatest driver though. Still suprised him pretty good though, the look on his face made my day much better.

Well the E46 M3 a raced last weekend put up a better fight than the M5, both are about the same year i believe. Im sure id be seeing tail lights if it was a newer M series though.

Monterey Maroon Metalic- 2000 Z28
Oh yes, and it is good. Redlines at an insaine 8,400rpm and makes 420bhp but low on torque if I remember. It's based on the M5 V10 just two cylinders less. Lots of carbon fiber on the car, very strong chassis and just looks mean. Also this 4.0 V8 has a throttle body for each cylinder, weighs less and makes more power than the outgoing 3.2 I6.

White- 1999 e36 M
R&T 0-60 4.1 1/4 12.5@114.8MPH not bad for a car that weights over 3600LBS. Still ugly and way overweight and still slower around the ring than the CSL e46M. Is it me or does it look like a Honda accord. Is this in C6 territory as far as straight line performance? Thoes R&T times seem awful quick for a car carrying that kind of weight.

Nice kill, what mods do you have? E39 M5s are quicker than E46 M3s.

K&N intake system. I think the guy in the M3 was just a better driver.
