Well here is my story about my little black srt-6 vs big bad '06 m5. I know some people won't believe this but this is what happened. I had just got my car back from the shop,three weeks to fix a spoiler seal leak. I was heaed to Apex, NC to show my wife that huge grin was back on my face. I was on state highway 55 and saw this white BMW in front of me. I passed him checking the car out, he passed me back checking mine out. I'm thinking yeah finally something worth runnin', had no idea what m5 was. I saw the next light just turning red,so I pull into the left lane. We both knew it was on. I turned the stereo down and slapped the auto stick to the left. Light goes green and we hit it. I had just a little wheel spin out of the hole,but my reaction time got me a car length on him. We get about an 1/8 mile and I still got a half a car on him. Heres were it gets real crazy real fast. From out of knowhere this beater pulls into his lane about 100 feet in front us. I see him slide over to the far right lane,but he is runnin out of lane real fast. I get around the beater and look in the rearview to see if he made it, he did. I look at the speedo and I'm doin 90 in a 45 zone. I know in a full 1/4 mile the m5 would have got me. It was nice to know my srt-6 could run with a car that costs almost twice as much, and looks damn sexy doin it. My opion of the m5 it's another overpriced, overated TANK sedan with alot of hp. It kinda looks like somthing my mom might drive to the store. The srt-6 is a true sports car 2 seats,2 doors, and great hp/lbs ratio. If you don't have the cash for a big vette or viper then this is the car to have.
Chi-town vs. an m5 my money is on the guy with fastest crossfire in the world. Chi-town you the man.
