This will be fun. Please, continue with Motor Trend as your source and using THEIR opinions as YOUR argument. Here’s some legitimate facts. 2011 BMW M5 lap time - 7:55.00… Same as a Ferrari F430, faster than a stock 996 911 Turbo 2009 Cadillac CTS-V - 7:59.32 SOURCE: [Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times - FastestLaps.com](http://www.fastestlaps.com/tracks/nordschleife.html) Doesn’t hold the record in it’s own country? Who the fuck cares, really? And if BMW didn’t hold the record, Porsche would with the Panamara Turbo with a 7:56.00 lap time. And also, like I couldn’t care less if you lost respect for me, as if I had any respect for you in the first place. EDIT: Also, you’re comparing it to the E60 M5, which came out in 2005. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/more-auto-food-for-thought/262981)._
