huh?


نظام الحكم سلطاني وراثي في الذكور من ذرية السيد تركي بن سعيد بن سلطان ويشترط فيمن يختار لولاية الحكم من بينهم ان يكون مسلما رشيدا عاقلا ًوابنا شرعيا لابوين عمانيين مسلمين.


That's all I saw.

The car can reach over 100mph easily. At that speed, either a M5 or a 520i will has the same accelation. So you don't really need a big HP car in order to use Brembo brakes, only if you have the money.

Man, not to start an argument about this, but past 100mph the M5 accelerates faster in comparison to a 520i. Just look at the some of the Vids uploaded onto youtube if you don't believe so.

I think he meant when you're at 100mph, you're at 100mph regardless of what car you drive and you still need to stop as fast as possible if an emergency situation arises.

Yea, I guess that's true about the stopping part, but he said over 100mph a 520i will have the same "acceleration" as a M5. That is what made me assume he meant otherwise.
