But even a stock M3 can pull on a stock M5.
Where did you get this info?

Why do people say stuff like that, yeah the M3 beat the M5 fair and square but he was trying and he was 100% on it, just listen to the video, the M3 was reving out... who the hell races at 75%?? Its like american films they are always changing gear in a race like they have 20 gears to go through and like in 'the fast and the furious' where they are racing and then the badies come along side so they change down a gear... were they not flat out and trying to get away anyway???? Then theres the bikes where hollywood think every bike even jap super bikes need to sound like a harley and they never leave a 2 stroke crosser with the right noise eg black rain.

Gives us a break he was trying, may be he need to puts a harley sound track over it lol!!

I'm sure he meant he didn't WOT at the 3rd honk otherwise he has no traction from 2nd gear. Once it hooked up, im sure he floored it.

Total dominance -- the modded M3 ate up the stock M5, passing it as if it were standing still.

But even a stock M3 can pull on a stock M5.

I do expect that the NBA player's 800 bhp M5 could have destroyed the M3. That's a race I would love to see.
Without taking anything away from the S/C'd M3, that exhaust combo on the M5 did nothing to help power and likely hurt power. Would it have made a significant difference in that race? No.

However, a stock M3 will not pull a stock M5 driven properly. Could it happen if the M5 driver is all over the limiter on his shifts? Sure.

I read lots of car mags (my little hobby). The mags are actually all over the place on 0 to 60 times of the M3 and the M5. Some peg the M3 as faster. Others go with the M5. I would think that as speed increase to serious numbers, the M5 has an advantage due to its greater power. But in the 0 to 60 game, it seems pretty even to me and in some sprints, the M3 can beat the M5.

Both can beat my slow-ass 550.

I want more power now!
