I already showed one all the way up to about 110

yes the motor puts out more power,but the weight to power ration favors the 4th gen. on a heads up race with equal drivers the 4th gen will win.

Negative. The exact same driver driving both those cars completely stock, the 5th gen will be almost a half second faster in the 1/4. The M6 2010 has hit as low as 12.9 completely stock, but most peg it at a solid consistent 13.0. I haven't heard of a 4th gen hitting those numbers bone stock... ever.

I'd take a modded LS1 over the 5th gen too.

Put some solid motor mounts in the 5th gen, full exhaust with a cutout, and i bet you'll feel the power then....

throw your 4th gen into a corner about 35-40, slide it around and punch the throttle,

5th gen at 30-35 will push/slide right though corner,way too heavy in frt.
5th gen geared too tall in rear for economy.

I just drove my dads on a curvy road and i was surprised it was so much smoother and turned so much better then my 4th gen

Didn't feel faster, but what do I know as I never go over 3 grand in mine.
