Something must be wrong there... I love the M5, and would chose it over an SL55, but unless they were doing high speed races, the SL55 should have won.

My Z8 stays up with the SL55, the M5 should destroy it..........

The new M5 is something isn't it? I saw the member EKAN (new m5 owner here in Stockholm) drive by me yesterday, what a small world!

It's funny how they assume if it beats the SL55, it'll just as easily beat an E55. In reality, the E55 is significantly faster than the SL55.

Personally I could care less... I hope I run into one around here and I can see how they match. I think the biggest advantage with the 55 cars is $5000 buys you an extra 80hp (thank you forced induction) whereas the M5's high compression normally aspirated V10 will be difficult and extremely expensive to get any more significant horsepower out of.
