another great show for the ///M slight jump off the start, as the amg guy obviously didnt keep it in a low gear, but impressive nonetheless

Another thing to keep in mind is this race was on the roll.

That's M5 territory.

the e55 has no lsd, so would need really good tires to make a m5 beating start

supercharged v8 sounds better imo, the m5 squeels like a pig when you rev it above 7000
