Camaro SS vs BMW e60 M5 - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I raced an M5 at the track not to long ago, he was was running high 12s at 113-114... we had 2 good runs, I beat him once with a good start... he pulled me when I blew the start but still took him till the 1/8th. A bolt-on M6 SS with a good tune can take one, I did without a tune! But at top end on the highway, I dont know... might need a cam for that one.

Continue to argue if you wish.

One thing I did notice is Awd75's camaro is m6 vs yours that's an l99, could by why your camaro lost to your m5? The m6 does have better top end. Either way nice rides you got! Lol

Yes, my car is an L99 and was DOD deleted/full bolt-on/cam'd when I ran my M5 and got raped. Maybe he has a freakishly fast Ls3.
Thanks!!

From a dig--> SS...From a roll to big boy numbers the M5 raped it. You must account for the gears in the BMW. Seven forward gears and a V10. I have a hard time with a bolt on SS beating an M5 from a roll all things being equal. M5's aren't drag cars, so beating one in the 660 or 1320 isn't that impressive. You can't really load and launch an M5 like you can the camaro.

Like I said maybe a freakishly fast Camaro or a really slow M5, lol.

I'm really suprised you lost to an M5 with what you have on your L99, I beat them no problem with a my H/C/I goat.

Just looked at your video. That M pulls like it's in P400. Looks great on video though. I tested this eliminating all factors. Both cars mechanically sound, both racing and both in their respective top performance modes( P500 sport M5 and competition mode SS) and no passengers.No axe to grind because they were both my own vehicles.

Fist of all , I can't change gears and record the video at the same time so I have a passenger with me while the M5 doesn't has one.Also I wasn't at any mode ( sport, competition or etc.) but M5 was at the P500 mode so M5 was at full power.

I will be looking forward to answer any further questions.

I could understand if your a senior with problems with your legs. But I think automatics on sports cars are lame as shit. Just my opinion.

This L99 would tear you a new azzhole. Ask around...

Stock for stock the ls3 with a decent driver does better on the track. Thats proven on threads here. If you like punching it and thinking that takes skill on the track ok. As for me I think I'll shift.

So let me get this straight.. You beat a 500 hp/200mph car with a bolt-on SS with a passenger and the M5 had none? ROFL. Ok

Bench race much? You track your car? Post some slips then talk to me about who's faster on a track.
