I agree. No courage in a bottle for me. But, still its all about stochiometric efficieny whether via forced induction or nitrous.

No wheelspin at launch and it seem to bog down a little bit.
Holding the engine higher than 1,800RPM will almost certainly achieve a faster trap and quicker ET.
Damn the US launch control.

WOW! Astonishing anyway.
Add a hamman upgrade to 600bhp and you'll get low 11s or high 10s.

Yeah and pigs fly.
I was talking about mods up to 20k. You were talking nonsense.
Do you think it's too much? Watch this: air filters, supersprint exhaust or hamman, hamman headers, ecu remap and 100shot of nos, and some radial drags. 20k or so and you can get not only a drager but alot more.

well what you say state above is about 12k, and most of it is pointelss anyway, if you want a dragster , then you should look into the m5's 1800kg+ kerb weight, that will do much more than pouring shots of NO2. with a possible saving of about 450kg if you chuch everything out and a lower center of gravity it will easily do 11s
also to eliminate rolling drag you could put 15` wheels and radials , that would cut at least 0.25seconds of your time.
and if pigs fly they can go and race with e39 m5s

I took the video..... 20" wheels with SO3's..... he had drag radials on another set of rims but they didn't fit... 
on the way home from the track, he pulled 200MPH!

pretty impressive ill say
... notice he isnt using the most aggressive shift pattern... otherwiseit would have been even quicker... Fuel consumption at about 60l/100 id say

2 tones from what? Let me put it this way...headers (even lighter), air filter (yeah right), supersprint exhaust or whatever (lighter), ecu remap (ooooh that weighs alot), and last the nos package wich hardly puts any sensible weight keeping in mind that the other mods lightened the car. So theoreticly the car should stay in the same weight if not going lower.
+ u kinda miss th whole m5 point. I would want an m5 because it's a refined super saloon. How on earth are you going to remove 450 kilos from it? Except yous tart removing the usless parts (considering u want a dragster) but if u want or anybody wants a pure dragster the m5 is the wrong car to start with. I want an m5 to have it for everyday use but if i want to go dragging then i can switch to a pair of slicks and add the bottle of nitrous. I don't expect for oyu to understand. But this car can do both. For instance with the mods stated above, it can do some damage on the drag strip and then you can go back home or do smth else. You cannot remove 450 kilos, hell even 100 kilos without removing parts like back seats, door panels, speakers and so on... and that ruins the car. Anyway...having a shot on a e39 m5 is smth don't you think? I had mine and i knew i would loose. Just wana see how my car would stack against it. You can "race" an e39 m5 in any car what matter is you do it and how you do it. But i guess that's not smth for you to understand....so for you yes pigs kinda fly sometimes.

sure the lighter headers ,air filter, supersprint exhaust and ecu remap will save you about 12kg.
I wonder do you ever calculate anything before posting?
well i was thinking of removing entire back seats, and right front seat, and changing the drivers seat for a plush Porsche GT3 style seat, i was thinking of chucking out the alloys for 15` jobbies, taking off everything from the boot including lining, taking off the door panels and also taking off the side metal casing and replacing it with a roll cage...
You cant say it has not been done Jay did it with his AA supercharged e46 M3 ...
Anyways my point is that if you want to do serious "damage" at the drag strip and go to 9s or 10s , then the m5 isnt the car for you, you should go with an STI / EVO 9. If you think that 11.8+s is respectable at the drag, than we obviously have very different opinions of what is respectable when it comes to the 1/4 mile

I see what u say but i knew that the EU weight facts for all cars include: the weight of the car + an averrage driver of 75 kilos + 75% of a tank filled up. Don't remember correctly the last figure...it might be 80%. Anyway i am almost 100% pozitive since in the book of my passat i saw that.
And in that case i hardly see any huge gain in weight. 15 kilos for the rims let's say and let's say 50 for the nos. Not to mention you could go to SUPER light rims. Forged and 3 piece alloys that weigh even less than the m5 166 rims.

AFAIK the DIN weight is just stock car.... EU weight is with driver plus fuel... DIN weight for the e60 m5 is 1915kg, according to the booklet im reading , correct me if im wrong

[/quote]I wonder how much was spent doing the aftermaket items, ignoring the wheels. Not too much I suspect. So, it doesn't take many $ to put the M5 into the thick of things (see list below--sorted on 1/4 mile time).
Note that I understand that the other cars could be modded too. But, I am just interested in seeing how far the M5 might "move up" because of mods of the type used on the modded car discussed on this thread.
