That Lighting was kickin' a$$

They said that the L was running 13.1's, the M3 was running 13.5's, and the M5 was running high 13's/low 14's.

I do beleive if the M5 driver knew what he was doing, he would have whooped the Lightning and the M3.

Nice link!!

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

M3 is faster off the showroom than the M5. Just compare hp/weight of both vehicles, then compare performance data by car-rags.

Only thing that would have been better is if the Lightning had a refrigerator or sofa in the bed

some of these guys are in shock, and some believe the 'L' was "heavily modified"

They sure do a lot of armchair racing over there at bmwm5

Quote from one of their brethren:

"I thought that the M5 would beat everyone but the IS300 Turbo & maybe the Supra if it was BPU..."

Do they really believe such nonsense
