Four RPi cars (3 M5s, 1 E63) took the trip down to Mexico this past weekend for some fun. The two fully modded RPi M5s are beasts. They're putting out 600 hp with RPi: headers, pulley, oil cooler, ram air kit (BMC filter, scoops), block off plates, GT section 1 (straight pipes), GT section 2 (hybrid X/H pipe), GT section 3 (mufflers), and RPi/Powerchip Stage 2 tune. keang24 is the owner of one of these 600 hp beasts.
The other M5 has not yet been dynoed. His mods are RPi: pulley, ram air kit (BMC filter, scoops), block off plates, GT section 1 (straight pipes), GT section 2 (hybrid X/H pipe), and GT section 3 (mufflers). Mpower82 is the owner of this M5. He'll soon be getting the RPi/Powerchip tune!
As for me, my newest mod is a custom RPi/Powerchip ECU tune. I also put back my 18" stock wheels for now. Enjoy!

To be fair, MPower82 did have a passenger whereas I didn't. That did make a difference.
