My Ride: A Car
Default

First, I did a launch control before with my fiancee inside. She said it feels like a roller coaster. LOL. She loves it! Car doesnt really peel out that much at setting 5 but I dont really floor it off the line.

Second, I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT drive with SMG setting 3. I can only drive it in 5 or 6. 6 definitely shifts like myself while I'm stepping on it. 5 is when I am shifting normally.

Third, there was a white Audi A4/S4/RS4, I have NO IDEA what it was. Probably an A4 2.0T. Behind it was a 750. Both cars stood no chance. Geez the M5 on a roll feels like a BIKE! It just takes off! DOwnshifted and BAM, I was up to the Audi's ass. I had to lift off and when I had room, shifted at 8K, and he was SEVERAL car lengths away already. Probably a debadges A4 2.0T. I really gotta hardwire my radar detector and pick up a few more PBA cards before I get in more trouble. I still got NO PLATEs!!! Temp plates.

You have to get through at least twice as much fuel as normal when you get a new car. Anything less and you're just not enjoying yourself enough! ENJOY
