Damn, that's impressive.
I like how they put the scale for Base prices x1000 to $500k to make the Pista look good. Lol. That Z51 is mighty, mighty impressive across the board though. |

Is that with launch control or with rollout?

My favorite quote from the article.
"BMW WILL PAINT YOUR M8 JAVA GREEN METALLIC FOR $5500, BUT WE'D PUT THAT MONEY TOWARD KEEPING A TICKET-FIXING ATTORNEY ON RETAINER"

This will probably be controversial... but, honestly cars are getting too fast. The horsepower wars are just getting absurd at this point.

Sorta agree with you. When will it end? I feel like a 10.7 stock car should be where we start to pump the brakes.

There is a segment of potential car buyers which is price insensitive. Horsepower wars and 0-to-"are you ready to buy if below or above a certain number" are just a tool to accelerate the sale of a vehicle with a bigger profit margin.

Well, 5-60 mph is 3.5s, that's what most of us are going to see in real world, which is bloody quick in its own right.
The 2.5 is trickery, one foot rollout and launch control

An ICE engine with this performance is what I call impressive technology, not an electric motor with a batterry like a Tesla...
Indeed the 8 is a beautiful potent machine! |

Very cool, even if it's just auto mag selling fodder. That Java Green is slick! Reminds me of Porsche's Mamba Green

Next is transmissions, again the amount of power that isn't lost, and on top of that how fast they shift. Not saying your wrong, but that HP is maybe 25% of the equation at max. Just look at the Corvette for instance 495 HP and out paces 700+ hp cars of yesterday. |

Comon bro, 25%? Obviously you have no idea that torque peters up out top. A 495hp 2020 with the Z51 package runs a 1/4 mile in an 11.3 thats no where close to the M8 at 10.7 stock... which is about 5 car lengths. |

Times have changed haven't they? Remember when over a decade ago when the legendary Bugatti Veyron did this 0-60 time and it seemed earth stood still for second just because we humans couldn't wrap our minds around such an achievement along with its top speed.
Now, we have a BMW M car that is basically a GT car achieving that number. The M8 Competition is not a quick car but is downright fast regardless of its size and internet complaints in regards to its curb weight. |
