ok, here is the video from different M5 with the same lotus.

-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.

Todd, call Eloy and schedule an appointment together. I'm supposed to get my ecu reprogrammed next week also.
It might be easier if we both get it done on the same day.

The Esprit is sort of a bucket for an exotic car. Most true 2 seat exotics, of course, are much faster than even a modded M5. Then again, how many of those exotics can carry 4-5 passengers and lots of luggage. To me, M5 is the perfect all around car.

Our RPI stage 2 package has even trumped other "true 2 seat exotics", like the gallardo and F430. Forum member, keang24 gladly did the honors.

Would love to see the vids of that.

What is the horsepower and torque gain from stock on a M5?
