Default IS-F Vs BMW M5 E60

Tell me what you guys think. It looks like it can hang with the V10 and if you look closely a Z06 just slings forward.

don't know what speed they got up to, but below 120 the two cars will be about the same. after 120mph and the v10 m5 will walk away from the is-f easy. that's just how the engines are. similarly between some v6 and v8 cars, up to 60mph they can be very similar, but from 70-120 the v8 will pull very hard

RIght b/c torque is comparable but the extra HP of the M5 will give it the edge at high speeds...M5 also has a 400hp and 500hp setting.....

I've ran a few M5's on the freeway. I can hang up to 120...beyond that it will pull away.

Naaa, with the vette being lighter and higher hp, I'd say the Bimmer and Lex were lucky to keep it in sight.....

i say they can keep their Z06. i can carry 3 people plus myself, and.... my car is not a piece of crap GM product, it's a Lexus, built by people who care about what they sell and service.

yes, i said it - the corvette is a piece of fine overpriced american POS.

Believe it or not but about the 3rd month I had my car I raced a 07 M5 on the highway. We started at about 100 and were neck and neck the WHOLE way until I let off at 160.. He even rolled down his window on the Highway and gave me the thumbs up and the remark " DAMN that car is fast!!" Needles to say I was surprised that I kept up as well...

Did he have his settings on S6 and P500 with the car on full M mode? That car has so many parameters liek the GTR to mess with that could affect performance but both car are fine machines. Want to see what the new M5 will look like and what kind of HP figures and can't wait for Lexus's response with their GS-F.

Any info on the GS-F guys or new model GS? Everybody else have the high performance cars out but BMW's M5 which will be out shortly. What's up with Lexus. Why no news yet? They trying to be so secretive. Spill the beans.
