I'll wait for some punk ass kid who just cut me off or gives me the tough guy look at a stoplight.
would would happen if its a punk kind that drives a car like this ?

I was going to mention the Saab 9-5 Aero/9000 Aero but I think it's a 15 sec car, though it might be able to do 14.x on a good day. I used to have one once and it eat (pre e60) 535i's but that was then....

Also below for reference is a link to lots of 1/4 times for factory stock vehicles.

Thanks much for the link.

Hi Friends:

Occasionally some of us do bad; we engage in low-speed streeties when the setting seems safe to all. Just for fun I developed a list of possibly lesser-known cars that might unmake a 545i or 550i driver's day if not paying attention to the car next to him or her.

Nope, the one's in red fit the criteria--14 sec. cars that might ummake the day of a 545i or 550i driver who is asleep at the wheel.

The M5 is very cool, but not for me. I'd go the new M3 or new Z06. And, I never sleep at the wheel.
