I smoked a Ferrari in a school zone last week. I guess the guy didn't have the ***** to keep up.

not bad for a auto slush box with full leather interior ...

Ok So I was coming home from work yesterday when I had my first real "run-in" with a M5 on the highway. Not racing or anything just playing around with the guy. He ABSOLUTLY slapped me top end. From like 70 and above that car pulls man. What can I do to motivate my car in the top end range? I already am runnning 310 WHP - no cams though. Are cams going to make that much of a difference? I doubt it. What do you guys think? I have an ego to maintain! LoL
By the way...turns...Evo got an M5 hands down...caught him real quick

Reality check guys.......
Some guys posted some valid points in response to this interesting post. Some are true and some seem B.S but I'll tell you what.....
An M5 is a total monstrous car on the highway with someone who is willing to push it without any remorse. Those who claim to have spanked one on the highway with their slightly modded EVO
, more than likely whoever was driving that M5 was not giving you all that car had to give trust me.
For those that know me, and remember "the 4BANGR" I had BR500 turbo,272's, big greddy fmic,680 injectors,walbro,AEM engine management, full exhaust and a few other tricks, making 440 whp, ran mid 11's consistantly and know I DRIVE THE HELL out of my car, and guess what? I ran one on the highway, was pushin the hell out fourth gear, shifted to fifth in the red zone was pulling beyond what the speedometer can register and that damn M5 was still pulling away
.
Say whatever you want about modded EVO's, but reality is the M5 is a total monster with a lunatic behind the wheel, and no matter what you think about what you read in magazines, the M5 is one tough nut to crack on the highway..........and THAT IS REALITY
My 4BANGR was one tough nut, but ultimate top end is still not an EVO's sweet spot
Oh, and BTW just ask BIG AL from Dynoflash who has probably the most modded EVO on the streets if he thinks he can walk an M5 EASILY on the highway......he might pull it, but not by much if at all. He had one sick luxury sport 4 door modded to hell and knows what they are capable of on the highway........................

Is M3 as fast as M5? If yes, i raced my friend`s M3(343hp) on highway and we went nose by nose till 130mph then he began to walk away very very slowly
My mods were:Turbo-Back,Boost controller set at 21psi
But now i`m ready to race with any M6 500hp, now i have 600whp and 4.111 final gear
I don`t think BMW has any chances...
