...You can beat an M5 in just about anything through the 1320

At 8000 rpm redline and seven gears the M5 has a clear advantage over the SS from a roll*all things being equal*

We can toss all the numbers in the world at this. Bench and dyno racing have there place. Real world experience is a totally different animal.
How much credibility are we going to give this guy driving a 200 mph bolt on SS. Does he know the ZL1 tops out at 184? Or that the M5 goes around the CTS-V after 155?

Both are around the same RWHP and the same weight with the extra passenger in the SS. No way he rapes the M5 like the video illustrates. Freakish fast Ls3 this kid owns..200mph with bolt-ons. Guess I wasted all my money with this stinking supercharger, lol.

Forgeting about the op for a sec , I think all things being equal meaning no passengers a Ls3 tuned with a above bolt ons against a stock M5 still pretty much of a drivers race , I know you go by the higher rpms of the M5 but there is still a torque advantage of around 80 wtq and 230lbs of weight .

I'm just saying is NOT impossible for a LS3 ss with those bolt ons and a tune to beat a Stock M5 from a roll . Now other people saying they beat a M5 pretty easy then I understand how you don't believe it but maybe those M5 drivers which they race couldn't really drive the car all that well.

I believe it would be a close race Very close race ( Drivers race )

I think in terms of drag racing. I don't street race and I don't see myself racing an M5 top end.
But I know they've got a lot on the top end though.

How can anyone drive a M5 wrong? Put it in the correct mode and just mash the gas?

Yeah but I bet his trap speed was higher or equal.

If you don't want to believe this , then don't. I'm not forcing anyone to belive but this video is more solid than any other word that you can say.

P.s: You're talking like my camaro cant go 200 mph but I also have another video PROOF of that also... Do you have any?

Your going to need a faster camaro if your going to be "The Enforcer"

When these things first came out a few years ago they were beating everything on 4 wheels, now we found out the youtube postings were a lot of bull. Fast car but beating Ferraris , Porsche turbos and what not.

E60 M5 demolished 360 modena's and early Lamborghini gallardo Se all while sporting four doors. No BS at all.

All staged for to deceive you!! The car is a beast...move on. The OP is full of it as far as I'm concerned. I know the power level it took to get my SS to pull on my M up top. OP is not close.
