But Tony, us youngsters like to floss. LoL.

Racing faster then 100 MPH is just plain nuts. Thats how people get hurt or arrested.

And if you're still not satisfy then get some RPI gear and you'll be ruling the highway.
I swapped the 22s off today for the stock 19s LOL... Car feels so much better... I think I am probably going to go with some 20s in the future... Stock exhaust is pretty restrictive, doing the exhaust on the 645 made a huge difference, I am assuming a exhaust would benift the v10 for sure...

What about rest of you boys with the m5s... any encoutners with amg's?...
