Sort of like watching a tiger play with a mouse (no offense M5 owners -- applies to just about any street car). Hell, a Bugatti Veyron could not keep pace with a F1 car in the turns.

This is probably a repost, but it is very cool...

Unfortunately, the F1 car makes the M5 look like a Toyota Prius.

This video is still the ultimate example for me, I've posted this here before but it's something that clearly shows just how much faster around a track a modern F1 car, with Mr Schumacher at the wheel, is compared to a Ferrari road car (a 550 Maranello) and a regular Fiat.
