I actually raced one on the HWY last year and crept away and all I had at the time was RPI scoops and charcoal filters removed. We started going at it around 75km/h to 200km/h. Sounded nice, I think he had an exhaust. I also saw one at the autoshow this year, and sat it inside and it was nice, suede steering wheel but to much plastic for me. Black Piano trim in plastic is cheesy as fu*k. I also seen that the drivers side seat was already showing more wear than my M5 which has 30,000kms.I find that these small details are deal breakers for me and the fact that I love NA engines and their characteristics and did I mention the V10 compared to a V8 S/C is a joke. M5 all the way anyday

After hearing all the GM Fanbois parading C&D results of .01 second "Killing" the M5, this was an enjoyable video. Thanks!

You can make a piece of $hit go very fast, but all you have is a fast piece of $hit!

Very well said Sir
Even a gold plated piece of shit is still a piece of shit.
Soon as I get the desire to get a "grill" I will consider a Cadillac

It makes me so mad that people compare that pile of crap to an M5. How DARE they!? Its like Hyundai comparing themselves to BMW. I'm sorry, but GTFO.
