redeye vs M5 Comp

[parttimer]

We have an X5M Comp and a cat, the cat is on E85 with a 2.6 pulley, around town the X5M crushes my car, on the freeway, it's a different story. The X5 is a whole different car, the comfort and finish is so much better, but the again the hellcat was 1/2 the cost.

So, you could have a M6 and a RES2 instead of one BMW!

A stock Plaid runs higher 4s 60-130 and your Jeep is probably low 4s… like 4.teens - right? Thats not a 10 car gap my man… I’d like to see it happen. Prove me wrong

I drove a plaid a couple nights ago. I do not feel that my cat can beat it, especially off the line. And unlike the model S it did not seem to slow down at 100.

It definitely doesn’t slow down at 100. Did you like it?

I loved it except for that yoke steering wheel.

At least it had a steering wheel! Next generation will think of a steering wheel like we think of a crank starter!

As I implied, you could simply buy a Plaid and show them up, but you probably would not be as happy as you are with the HC. You can always do a pulley and E85 tune, and the HC engine will do just fine with it. The stock BMW is probably already pushed to its limit.

I am sure the only happiness the BMW owners is finding a car they can beat. Other than that, they are all miserable SOB's.

I bet they all have small peckers too

wow i just had a roll on encounter with a redeye charger a couple days ago. it was fast and sounded like a pro stocker obviously with aftermarket pipes,in the denton texas area. was wondering if it was anyone here. i wanted to get him or her to pull over but they turned off before i got a chance. my base M5 doesnt quite have the power of the competion model but its still fast. they jumped me on the hit from i guess around 50 or 60 and the front of my hood was at the back of his rear door and it pretty much stayed that way until we backed off around 100 or so, probably not the smartest thing but i love to put the pedal down from time to time,. i do have a radar detector though. i believe all US M5s are restricted to around 160 unless you get a track day from BMW or get remapped

yes the S 68 motor in the m5 can only go safely to 800 WHP before you need to upgrade to forged internals.
