I hope you are right. If the Pajun is that good I will probably get one. Following this thread amplifies my own thoughts. I almost got the m5, but I decided against it for many reasons. Regardless, it remains on my short list. I understand the luxury compromise to be made with the m3/m4, but the longer I drive the m3 the more I like it compared to the m5 because the driving experience is so much more enjoyable. I would love a 991 C2S, but it is just too small for my needs. I am hoping the m4 fits the bill for me. I have my eye on the Audi RS5 as well.

The x5M is hers. She wants the Dinan tune to bump it to over 600hp. I created a monster lol.

It's more like a 200 cell primary that takes up the space of the OEM 600 and the secondary . That's why it's costly , but also why I believe it won't set off an emissions code . It is approximately 4500 , so not cheap . But for something that flows damn close to catless and has the benefits of cats it worth it to me .

Yep. Very similar to mine except I am at 400 cell. Mine are true OEM modified. Expensive as well. $3500. But the good stuff is. You see what has happened to everyone with the cheap ones.

Yup. They are seamless. Wouldn't even know they were there until you stomp the gas!

That is exactly what power to weight resistance is about. Theoretically, with equal power to weight ratios the cars will reach the same top speeds at the same time. The factor then to consider will be wind resistance since the power generated is needed to overcome this. ie: the more streamlined car will ultimately have the higher speed and will reach it faster.
Aerodynamics, gearing, and power are what win races above 100mph. Power to weight means very little at these speeds. In a highway race the F10 M5 will dominate. Under 100, whomever gets better traction will win. Motorcycles have superior power to weight ratios, yet drag and power kill their acceleration on the big end. That being said, yes there are some very fast 600 and liter bikes that run strong.

Yep. Agreed as per my statement that we then need to consider wind resistance and power. The M5 would suffer on the resistance but shine on power.
