M5 comp has down pipes. Everything else is stock. AMG and M8GC is 100% stock.

The AMG is woefully slow relative to this pack. I think it's lost every dragrace I've seen it in. Perhaps someone with a Prius will help give it a good day...

The Ms were consistent with the M5 taking it by a nose each time (as far as I watched that is).

Do you know if the numbers shown at the end are supposed to be 1/4 mile times?

That's 25-30 extra horse power right there

M5 isn't stock with Down Pipes +25 on top of the 17

No idea

Deja Vu. The vid seems worthless (besides eye candy) since they are throwing modded and stock together.

With the M5 running 10.2, the M8 10.3 and the GT63s 11 in the quarter (3:18 in the video) it seems more than downpipes and exhaust....

Correct - these are 1/4 mile times.

M8 is not competition. Even though there seems to be some badge under M8.

x5man · 08-12-2020, 05:45 PM

2nd run (4:20s) is without launch control.

soooma · 08-12-2020, 05:55 PM

There's one time I saw that M8 did beat the M5

You know there is no way a stock M8 non-comp GC will ever do 10.3 in the quarter, right?
Or Comp in stock form.

This whole comparo is BS from a performance comparison.But it looks good

And the Merc could be stock

?

It's also best when the same driver tests each vehicle back to back, too many variables here...
I'm not crazy about "4-door sports cars" but the M8GC looks the best of all three...
Where the Turbo S Panamera?

It ran it in 11 sec
That's very doable stock vs Binmers low 10's

I'm not talking about the Merc to be clear--don't know, don't care.

But, no, it isn't possible for the bimmers to do that stock. Surely, you're not asserting it is, right?

// EDIT: so the M5 has DPs--that'll edge you a 1/10th or two in the 1/4 mile.

It was probably in the race but the lens wasn't sufficiently wide-angled to keep its slow-arse in the picture.
