I think the GT500 was still louder.

What did you trap in the 1/2 mile? Curious because of the 174mph trap from the VT3 e92 on the front page.

He couldn't have trapped more than 155mph since he still has the limiter on his M5, as we all do.

For right now, I just like to lol at their lack of knowledge. They'll start learning within the next 6 months though. Oh and you better believe that come this summer when F80's and F82's start hitting the streets that I'll be on the hunt to find one to race. Lol!

I think BMW went in the right direction with dropping weight and they had to drop displacement and # of cylinders to follow where planet earth is heading, efficiency and clean air. We sacrifice a lot as car sport enthusiasts on the sound front, but cars are lighter and quicker. Look at Formula 1 cars. We are on race 4 of the season and people are still complaining about the way new cars sound.
Personally, I didnt agree with the F80 reviewer on many aspects, but I guess everyone has a right to their own opinion and I decided not to post. It's a great looking car and I am pretty sure it will be quicker around track than the m5, but let's remember that the m5 serves more purposes than the m3. I personally went through e39 m5, e60 m5 and now the F10 and I never owned an m3. I just like big school buses that go nuts when you want them to. I do have a e46 still sitting in the garage, but it's a non M. With that said, the reviewer should have never compared the f12 to the f80 because each of them serves a different purpose. If he wants 1000 hp out of stock internals go get a 93 Supra and call it a day.

Comfort suspension mode. Helps with transferring more weight to the back wheels and not losing as much traction.

Oh yea, not much weight shifts as shocks rebound immediatly and fire dept comes out from all the smoke from your tires.
