My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels

did you line up with anyone? from the dig, you should be able to take quite a bit of ppl with the torque given by the Dinan software. do tell, as a fellow 535 Dinan, i wanna hear how you stacked up with the others.
The closest competitor for me in the M5 was the E63 AMG. We were neck and neck on a bunch of runs we did from a dig. I would have loved to go against Dave and his Dinan 535. I also wanted to go against the Ferrari.
The coolest part about running on a runway like this is that once you hit 70-80 MPH, you really get to see what these cars can unleash. Not only that, but the pedal is literally to the floor for 3/4 of a mile!!!! That's what made these runs so insane.
The first thing Gregg said to me after he drove my car was how it takes off, once he hit 80 MPH. Having the car at 165 MPH and still keeping it at that speed for a decent amount of time is unreal.
Man, I still can't stop smiling. I want to go back tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day!!!

He didn't. The only people that ran against each other were the 550's/545's, Carrera 4S, E92 M3's, E39 M5, E60 M5 and E63 AMG.
