I can't tell from your post whether you love the BMW M5, or you are dissing the BMW M5. Elucidate!

There are cars that go 0-60 faster than an M5, and run the 1/4 faster, and pull more Gs on the skidpad. But none of them have the room and comfort of the M5 (well, not with a manual gearbox anyway). If I only got one car for the rest of my life, I wouldn't base it on race track performance, and I'd take into consideration its practical aspects. So, I hope it makes more sense now- the M5 isn't the absolute best at any one thing, but nothing is better at everything.

P.S.- n00b, we're only on page 2. Update your settings.

I'm glad we concur on the M5 -- so many cars are lopsided in one direction or another (even our beloved STI!) that some forget the attraction of a balanced automobile. My father's M3 (2001) is almost the perfect car, but it seems a little small and light for so much power and the rear seats are a tight fit for anyone over average height.

As for my settings, I actually pefer the default; I hate that much scrolling when I am using my laptop. Thus, I retain my title of ownage, even if it is for my eyes only. Touche!

Well, at first i would start listing
1) Zonda
2) Mclaren F1
3) Enzo

etc........

But then you really think about it. Ok you have to take trips in it So you need space to put things.
Then you think where the hell would i park it if i just needed to run to the store are god forbid "the city" It's going to get damaged or stolen
Also The cost of gas as you maybe get 8 miles to the gallon. Not to mention repairs.
And if you're like me maybe you'ld want it do alittle off roading.

Thankyou, but i'm sticking with the Subaru STi.

although for now i just have the WRX. So i have something to look forward to.

I'd take the modern version. It's faster, it has infinitely better brakes, and all the modern touches, like leather, a six speed (boy that sounds familiar...) CD, AC, sound deadening, etc. etc.

And good luck raising a family in a GT40 Mk1, or a Carrera GT, or an Enzo, or a 911, or a...

pshhh... modding an M5 would be like taking watercolors to that Mona Lisa you just bought from that museum in Paris.

I've gotta disagree. Theres nothing wrong with making a fast car faster. And in any case you gotta get a more open exhaust so you can really hear that M5 V8 rip.
