Feeling the need for speed, a few friends and I headed south of the border. Our little group consisted of two Ferraris (F430 & 360), convertible Lamborghini Gallardo, two M5s (fully modded RPI M5 & unhealthy M5), supercharged Lotus Elise, ///M coupe, Acura NSX, and MBZ E63 AMG. We had three runs with three cars.
1. Tuned Ferrari 430, Lamborghini Gallardo, RPI M5. F430 won by half car length over the M5. Lambo was two cars behind the M5.
2. Lotus Elise, ///M coupe, Acura NSX. Lotus by a large margin over the ///M coupe and NSX.
3. E63, Ferrari 360, unhealthy M5.

Great video Joe! Who was in the E63??? 
I would have loved to have seen the M5 beat the Lambo.
One of these days, I'd love to see a Noble run with these cars.

I was up half CL before i brake hard due to parked car on my lane with a little midget asian standing on the side taking video
EDIT: i don't think I pull on him, but i got a good launch and it stay even that way. He forgot to set "race"mode on launch. Damn f-car gadget.

Noble would decimate almost any competitor. The RPI Noble is putting down over 500rwhp on the Dyno Dynamics. This equates to 650 crank and it's very light. Hard to beat it considering power-to-weight ratio. It's only problem would be hooking up.

Well, the unnamed individual who happens to be a member here and M5board, forgot to setup his camera mount.
