me and my friend visited his older brother last weekend on 11th (sunday). well we all mingeled into his garage to look at his Honda CBR 600 and his new m5. Its absolutely gorgeous. Royl blue with a nice supersprint exhaust. Being curioous of its performance, we all decided to take it out for a little spin.
rolling down downtown sacramento we pulled up to a pretty nice 5.0. Cowl hood, cobra grille, and an s-style wing all riding on cobra rims. My friend, being as stupid as he is says "he Clay, race this weak bitch right here" Revving his engine the mustang owner turns and smirks.
The light turns green and the wheels start screaming as both get off fairly good. Through first us, in the m5, were about half a length ahead. But once 2nd was up we were toast. The 5.0 pulled on us and kept going and going. Once we got to the next light we were behind at least 5 lengths. Laughing my ass off and reppin stang pride, i look at my friend and his borther to see only their looks of saddness and depression.
This guy i know drives an M5. supposedly runs mid 13's stock, from what i hear. damn nice ride though. handles good, ride is smooth, shifts smoothly, and looks tight. im sure my stock trans am could have taken him, but id trade in my ws6 any day for one of those cars.

actually we took the M5 to the track the other week. With dinan exhaust and cold air intake kit, it ran a 13.1 @ 110. The guy with the 92' just moved in down the street from me in the pocket area and has a vortech s-trim on top of a 347. He runs low 12's and high 11's on radials. so him beating the m is no problem.

also think, the m5 had a bunch of people in the car too, so it had to slow it down a lil bit, but not nearly enough were he woulda won the race, especially if that stang had that many mods. by the way, ur friend must be loaded, an m5, new bike and already has a dinan exhaust and intake on it, i know a kid with an m3, exhausts are over a grand for that thing, same with intake all for about a 10hp gain total from both.

nah, I can usually spot a 5.0 that will give me a lesson. Its a bit easier after a certain point. Still I do get surprised, but not as much as one guy on a 750 Honda crotch rocket. His eyes were as big as saucers.... I really enjoy doin that to them.
