part II coming soon...
-Lotus Esprit has 390rwhp and weight about 3000lbs.
-E60 M5 has 485rwhp(sprayed) and 401rwhp(all-motor) and weight 4234lbs plus one 200lbs-passenger.
Start from 2nd gear about 30mph/4-5k rpm on M5 (not smart at all). M5 didn't spray from the launch at 2nd, but sprayed from 3rd on.

I still need to get the Stage 2 tune before we go agian. I should get it done this week. I'll call to make an appt.
It might be easier if we both get it done on the same day.
