Holy cow new M5
I was comming home from LA on the 5 South. Doin 70ish in the fast lane. It was dusk and I see a car comming in and out of traffic. I pull behind it and tail from about 100 feet. I see i's a M series then I see the 5, I'm like - I'm gunna get smoked . Well I'm layin it into 3rd hard and needin to shift to fourth a few times. Well we got caught in traffic then the road opened up. Nice. I get behind at 70 about 100 feet back. I nail 3rd and as the rpms come up I start to reel him in. At 130 pullin 1 car. Holy cow ! Well after that he wasn't tryin so hard to loose me and just stayed back. Nice. I can't believe how strong this LS1 is. Oh he was by himself and I had 2 adults in my car !

Good deal! Aren't they packing a V10 now and like 500 hp? But they weight quite a bit.

Torque is low - I looked it up. I'de probably get my ash handed to me off the line but at high speed 380 tq on 4000lb gave him a disadvantage. I have a lid, LM and FTRA.

If anything you'd of had him off the line and soon he'd of caught up and walked you hard till 155 where he cuts out, ever heard the saying "Horsepowers how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take it with you"... Think about it..Last edited by LS1What; 11-16-2005 at 10:48 PM.

Actually HP is just a number you get from an equation...
HP = TQ*RPM/5252

If someone put $81,200 (MSRP of M5) into an LS-1.....ah, nevermind. Bang for the buck....LS-1 wins everytime.

You need to know his mods.....right. But sorry, money is the point of everything. How did the original poster get his mods? Money. How did the BMW driver get his M5? Yup...
So since I'm a poor guy, humor me.....a guy spends $81,000 for a car that goes 4.3 0-60, we'll use 0-60 since you like to quote those numbers. For 1/8th of the cost of an M5....or about $10,000, a guy can buy a bone stock base model LS-1 Z28 or Formula and will hang with the M5.....LS-1 = 0-60 4.8'ish out the box. With H/I/E the LS1 car is easily at 4.3. With NOS....even faster....and we still haven't broke $15,000.
No one's debating that the M5 is a nice luxo barge that is fast for it's size. But bang for the buck, man...I keep tellin' ya that is what it's all about.....unless you have Bill Gates type money.
