*updated My spirited driving results vs. other performance cars
Had some spirited driving in the past days with random fellow sports car drivers. I rate my 15 year driving skills as 'average' and don't have any professional track experience, 6/15 years is M cars.
I dont have any videos recorded yet, but here's some info so others know what to expect in a random everyday challenge: M5 F10 against rivals from my experience. Mostly straight line, 1st gear. Listing "easiest" to "hardest". Roll: Mercedes Benz CL63 AMG - easily walked away Roll: Maserati Quattroporte S: easily walked away Roll: Audi RS5 - easily walked away Roll: M3 E92 - walked away Roll: Porsche Cayenne Turbo 2012 - walked away Roll: X5M - walked away Roll: M5 E61 - walked away, not easily at all Standstill: Porsche 911 Carrera 2012 (dont know which one) - walked away Standstill: Tuned EvoX - was behind until 70 km/h, then flew by him Roll: Panamera Turbo - Draw. Equal from 30 km/h to about 200 km/h. I don't know if it was a Turbo Kit or if it was tuned, but he stayed with me. We did multiple runs from a roll. Each had 2 passengers. I kept repeating same mistake when shifting to 2nd gear, was switching at red line from M View bar and that was already too late. Traction was an issue, but nothing to complain about. Running from a roll was already to my advantage. This was the only car I haven't won against so far. I don't know what it was, but I would assume Turbo S (never seen in one myself) would be a big threat. Roll: GT-R (dont know which/tune if any) - Walked away. Raced (I was following him from about 50 meters) from about 50 km/h to about 200 km/h. He walked away for 1-2 seconds, but after that (~120 km/h) I was stably closing on him until 200 km/h and traffic appeared. I didn't watch speeds or take measurements, was focused on optimal shifting like crazy. He seemed like an easy prey on higher speeds. Maybe this was 2009 GT-R? Roll: SLS 63 AMG - Draw or maybe faster than me (?). Raced from about 50 km/h until about 200 km/h. I expected that SLS 63 AMG would eat me alive and drive away easily, I know what a brilliant car it is and a totally different category, but surprisingly (he was behind when we started) I didn't let him close on me (or noticably) with some effort. Must have been the driver's fault. Even if he was bad, I know he was doing what he can because there was racing a screaming GT-R that mixed in the race. I know that outcome depends more on the driver than on cars, but this is what I've experienced so far with other interested fellow enthusiasts. Cheers!

Fun read I was picturing the runs in my head as I read down the list. Think you could have taken the panamera turbo if you shifted perfectly?
You walked away from a lot of impressive cars. How were the reactions from the other drivers? You have to find a new CLS63 that should be fun and tough one. |

im sorry bro, but i simply cannot believe that you "easily walked away" from a cls 63 but just "walked away" from a m3 and e61 m5. anybody who isnt blinded by the bmw badge can see why i have doubts.

It says CL 63 AMG, read more attentively. Even if it was a new CLS63PP, such a result would mean to me that the driver was bad, I have a good general idea on performance cars on paper. Updated a roll race with SLS 63 AMG and GT-R.
