Zl1 vs new m5
 

I think the new m5 will give a good run Road course and drag race.

just remember the new M5 is $92,000.

0-60 3.7
1/4mile 12.0 @ 122
4300lbs

how does everyone think the Zl1 will compare?

That being said as a bargain it will be very hard to compete with a zl1. I can't wait to see some videos of these two racing each other.

My money is on the ZL1. More power, less weight, and a much better set-up.

That M5 look's really heavy will give the win to ZL1 all day and stand by it

M5

Just bought car n drive magz, m5 hp is only 560hp, zl1 is 580. 20 more hp on zl1. Maybe if we do drag race camaro will win, but i dont know if full lenght track race.

Well they're both very close in weight, but the ZL1 packs 20 more hp and 50 tq than the M5...with equal drivers I would lean towards the Z pulling ahead of the M in the 1/4. Handling would be close I suspect, though the mag ride may again provide a small boost over the already sick BMW suspension capabilities. No comparison regarding interiors or comforts etc...two different animals and the M is a 90k+ ride..

ZL1 all the way.

Don't forget that BMW tends to be extremely conservative with their numbers. I saw the tech video's online when the M5 Engineers went over every aspect of the cars design. It will be a beast!

Also take into account that the M5 actually does 0-60 in 3.7, BMW's times are without roll out unlike the ZL1, GT500 etc etc etc

Well the new M5 posted a 7:55 Nurburgring time.

The 7:40 the ZL1 posted is a pretty healthy lead if you ask me.

Wow didn't know that.

The 'ring video on you tube of the ZL1 is pretty sick. Bad ass acceleration!!!

M5

M5.

Same reason an M3 will walk an SS.

There's more than horsepower numbers. Transmission on those cars is godly.
