If you take out all the passenger seats, turbocharged it, run 100 Octane Fuel at 1/4 tank, and add a wet shot NOS system then maybe you can win by like 0.1 second

This question reminds me of the movie Dumb and Dumber, when Lloyd asks Mary Swanson, what chances he had with getting with her. LOL!

Sooooooooo you're telling me there's a chance!!!! Hahahahahahahahaha! Love that movie.

HAHA.

This one is hilarious too (has nothing to do with the thread, but dumb and dumber)

(Mary was referring to their date)

Mary: So you'll pick me up tonight at seven forty-five?
Harry: Well I got a few things to take care of. So how about we make it quarter to eight?
Mary: [Laughs] Stop it
Harry: Okay. Seven forty-five

I've seen different threads on M5board about M5s and M6s vs GTRs.

One M5 owner raced a GTR to about 140 and the GTR pulled on him from 2.5 to 3.5 car lengths.

Then there's an M6 owner with lights mods (no primary and secondary cats and ECU tune) and he pulled on the GTR. Here's that video:

As quick as the GTR is, I'd take the M5 in a heartbeat. All credit and respect to Nissan, the GTR is an awesome machine and the performance speaks for itself, but nothing else about it makes me want one. The M5 has class, sophistication and poise - and for me the surgical precision of the M5 wins out over the brute force of the GTR every time.

Not really. A stock Z06 beats it in a straight line.

Those modded M6's are fast as hell. There is one that attends the GTBoard events in Sweden. Engine mods include: RPI scoops, BMC filters, Kelleners/Schrick cams, Evosport Headers, Kelleners race cats, Dinan exhaust.

The M6 put the smack down on a modded biturbo V12 SL65.
