My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
So I couldn't find out how to post the YouTube screen shots like how it was done on M5board so just click on the links below.
After Darren left San Jose, he was on his way to Las Vegas but decided to stop in Bakersfield and the RPI guys, Eloy (RPIpower), Joe (Vegastrashed and joet@raceprecision), Kenny (keang24) and Eddie (MPower82) drove up from SoCal to meet him. They couldn't resist this rare opportunity to compare the Dinan stroker ///M5 with a full RPI ///M5 (Kenny's). Once they met up, everyone took the space portal to Mexico.
Here are three vids from that meeting last night:

Similar results to the run against my car but I do think Darren's car pulled a bit faster on me than he did on Kenny. You guys can come to your own conclusions. I think the only main difference is that they started their runs mostly from 70-80mph whereas Darren and I started from 30-50mph.

I'm shipping my car to Dinan tomorrow. My soon-to-be child does not need a college education. I just decided that. 
Sick cars and great pix and vids. Nice BBK's, T! Your wheel set-up looks great.

"Soon to be child"? You have planty of time ...
Just think of the great stories you will be able to pass on about the mighty Dinan M5 you had back in the day

Darren's car is SOOO sick! The crazy part is, that is one of the fastest E60 M5's in the world and there's only a select few of them out there. Unreal!

I think it would rock Sorab's car (since it's sitting in a service bay, waiting for parts).
