Hahha that Sh!t's fast man... that sh!ts fast... you gotta get a Z06 man...

I'm suprised the M5 didnt walk it... the old E39 M5 can take a regular vett.... but the Z06 is a different story.

The first half of the video had the M5 behind and catching up quickly. He was reeling in the C6. It would then appear the M5 slowed down for traffic in his lane.

The same can be said of the M5 driver you raced against. Stock for stock, the M5 has better top speed and quarter mile times than a c6 z51 convertible (per Road and Track data sheets). A supercharger changes the equation. Are you eating the Porsche TT 996 or 997s?

I took a porsche gt3 and i also raced a lambo gallardo. they are no contest. I have 625rwhp. as for the m5 its a pig and doesnt have the torque of a c6. its 0-60 cannot touch a z51 c6. as for the supercharger, m5 has no no no chance. thats why the z06 was rated the top performance car evnen rated better that the porsche 996 turbo as for pound for pound. I love the m5 and i have a 545i converted to the m5 look. but when it comes to brute power the vette cannot be touched as of now

Yeh, I'm always amazed how guys like you never see how absurd it is to compare a hoped up, purpose built sports car to a large 4 door sedan, then pat your selves on the back because you can pull out a few seconds....
