Hey Calton, great pics. I will upload mine tomorrow. Also, don't want to start the e63 vs M5 thing. But based on my experience the cars are basically even -- all driver dependent. The race I had with the Greg in your M5 I came out about <1/2 lengths ahead. From the dig, I wanted to see how we do, so I nailed a bit later and then see if I can catch up. From my point I you were pulling ever so slightly up top. Again, it is seems like it is drivers race. With Greg I nailed almost the same time and the race came out to be almost dead even with a slight edge to the E63 that time. Again, seems like completely a drivers race, a slight hesitation and you can't catch either.
Anyway, I had a blast, we should do this again.

I have to admit, although I had you at first by a bit, at 130 mph you started to edge foward, but at 150 I started to pull away a bit up to 165mph... At that point, it was all brakes!!!
Overall, these cars are dead even, but with better tires and wheels on the M5, it would outrun the E63 on an autocross for sure.

That shot and another one pretty much like it were the ones I finally got right. Everything else was either cut off or out of focus. Very tricky to do because you see the cars and you start to pan, but it seems so slow. By the time they come close enough for a nice shot, you realize how fast they're really going and you gotta swing really fast. Too bad gregg came to pick me up and toss me around the backseat (FUN!) otherwise I wouldve liked to get some more shots.
Tossed you like cookies around the backseat...hahahahaha... Does the left side of your head still hurt??

My train of thought was funny, though
"Gregg's car is almost as fast as mine...."
"Ride's pretty smooth, nice"
"We're gonna run out of runway now..here comes the turn"
"ah, gregg isnt slowing down much for this, nice!"
"why am I leaning so much? Oh yea no seatbelt!"
"wooaaa Gs! Better grab a hold of something"
"Nevermind!"
*slides across the backseat and is stopped by the door*
And to make it even funnier, gregg kept going past my car! If he hadn't stopped, there'd still be an M5 parked out there =P

I kept thinking of why he wouldnt want to run there. Maybe the grass, or the surface?
