That where a 3500 to 4000lb car making 450-500hp @ flywheel and 400-500 llbs of torque vs a 6000 to 7000lb truck making 500hp @ the rear wheels and 900-1000ftlbs of torque get interesting for sure! Has anyone seen any quarter mile times out of an m5? The truck should be able to yield a low 13 or better I would guess?

M5's run like 12.5 1/4 mile times. I was looking at the specs when we bought our ctsv. The caddy out did the m5 by like .10 tenths in the 1/4. There is no way in hell the m5 driver was trying.

what was the weight difference of the CTSV and the M5?? im guessing the Caddy is a bit lighter,, least they look like they would be. I've drove both and perfer the Caddy's performance but man the M5's ride quality down the highway was a bit better

I didn't really look at the weight difference. I'll agree with the better ride going to the BMW . My wife had a 530 before the caddy and it rode a lot better. But the caddy is probably My all time favorite vehicle that I have ever driven. But the new 2011 m5's are turbocharged now so I think they moved back ahead of the caddy, but for the 100k price tag you sure can make the caddy way faster for a lot less!

yeah I love CTSVs. one of my all time fav's as well. I really like the G8 GXP as well. Just something about a big, smooth 4 door car that that rides great, is roomy and still makes 400+ that really revs my engine lol.

First gen ctsv weigh 3900. From a 30mph pull they are a beast. My truck didn't stand a chance against my v till it was twinned.

I swear. If you aren't in a click here or just a random person you are either a liar or it didn't happen. And no my truck is no where near 650 hp. Barely 400. And I haven't changed my fuel filter. Again all of you are right. My truck is a slow turd and he was actually riding the brakes the whole time. Done posting on this site

If you don't have the sack/thick skin to take people's op, without fighting back/ getting your panties in a bunch, there are other sites ;). Sit back, chill, argue back and have some fun.... I've taken many vehicles that should have ate me for lunch, there are many variables.... Chillll :)

Yep I never said u was lying,, just basically said that I wouldn't get to pumped cause ol boy either wasn't trying, had a m5 badged 5 series that was more like 300hp, or his shit was sick and he was on his way to the shop lol. There's a lot of car enthusiast on here too and don't think for a second we haven't been around $90k beemers and $100k+ ZR1s and shit. Lot of our trucks are quick but you gotta know what you up against too. :thumb: I'm sure your shit is fast but an M5 kill is a tough sell to guys who have been around cars and trucks both for a while.

I believe him simply because I've been embarrassed by cars that I could easily beat normally. It usually happens when they start off racing, and I don't realize it until I'm already behind a little and then I have to get out of it before I have a chance to get around them. Example, when I'm in a lane or next to a lane that merges just like he said he was, I'll either want to get in front of the guy I'm next to (and I don't figure he'll hammer down on it) or I don't want the guy next to me getting in front of me (because I'm an a-hole) and he hammers down on it when I don't expect him to.

So what I'm saying is maybe the M5 knew it was a race but not until it was too late for him to really do anything. The element of surprise can be a good ally in street racing.

you didnt beat the car, you beat the driver.... there just isnt much point in bragging about beating a fast car when the driver didnt know you were racing/missed a gear/ was asleep.

if you have a 1000hp duramax and outran an m5 that would be believeable and cool since the truck actually probably outran the car.

It could have been an E39 m5 (01-03) I had one and my best quarter was 12.9. They are 400hp v8. And in that car I spanked a f-360. Only because we were at a light and my sedans longer wheel base kept me off the white slick stop line. He spun I didn't and the next light was red! I still count it as a win... I have to say there is no comparison to a M BMW. And yes it def could have been a fake M5. I have come across a few back when I had mine and for some reason they never wanted to race...lol my truck is still slow but it'll get there... Anyone wanna sell me some twins...

I prefer my audi S/RS cars though because you can keep driving them when the snow falls. :D :p:

Even with horrible all-season tires my 2004 S4 went anywhere my truck would go in the winter....stopping was another story though, you still need good snow tires to stop.
