Read somewhere that 545 can beat a M5 in P400 at least from 0-60. Please don't make me look for it. I know someone else here has seen the same thing. I'm sure someone's going to call BS, I'm just repeating what I read that is all. I do know Grogan545 was timed in 4.9 and Znod 5.0.

don't want to spoil your fun but... what on earth do you need extra power for on a 550 when you are only allowed 55 mph max on the freeway??? get real, enjoy what you have: one of, or probably the, worlds best cars; smoking other beamers or mercs or whatever is for highschoolkids

I would think with that you spend on all the Dinan shit you can jsut buy the M5. Seriosuly. HP costs $$, and if you want any real degree of HP gain you might as well buy the M5. 20-30 HP gain you probably won't feel. You need probabl 50 or so to realyy tell any difference.

Sorry for bringing this back up but I'm going to be running my 550i in the Cannonball Run in July. Is there anything that can give me over 400 hp/tq?
