I posted a video of the 550i outlaunching a Jeep SRT8. It surprised even me.

What a rocket.
You 550i owners are lucky SOBs!

damn, that's pretty impressive.
do the e60 550's have a chance?

I dunno what the specs on the E60 550 is. Not a twin turbo V8 probably?

turboawd

no

In a word: NO, the E60 550 has zero shot of beating the F10 550

E60 550i - NA V8
F10 550i - TT V8
That means F10 wins every time

i meant against the jeep.

Can't wait to see what kind of tunes come out for the new F10 TTV8 it will be very interesting I can't wait.

Probably not, I used to have the SRT8 Jeep - 425HP stock (mine was slightly modded to 510HP). The SRT can easily keep up with and beat a stock 550, even the non-SRT Hemi powered Jeeps had equal 0-60 times as the 550

I'm not surprised. This car is a BEAST dressed in a business suit. When I put the drivetrain setting into Sport+ mode and slam on the gas, the torque that's unleased is just downright scary. I really believe the 4.4 and the F10 is a match made in heaven! You have to be somewhat careful with the gas in this setting as you can easily smoke the tires....but do it just right and it's quite the thrill ride!

Wouldn't be surprised if this engine wins awards. It's darn smooth and hauls azz. It's the best feature of the new 5, the turbo V8.
