The M5 is my first M, so I am still learning how to adjust the best suspension setup, transmission setting ...... for racing and to learn how to use all that power and torque
Both cars are very powerful, but I think the M5 will take the V. I did notice that the more we raced the faster the M was going. The M has 2000 miles only, I think it will open up with time

Talking about AMG, I still miss my CLK63 AMG black series. It was a great track car

I have more videos that I will be uploading once I get a chance

So you had an CLK63 AMG Black and you tracked it but still struggle with the M5 here.

With the M5 torque that hit hard around 1200 RPM it very hard to get good traction, especially with the slippery pavement we have.
Have a lock at the attached video and you will get an idea why the struggle

I'm a V owner, so I watched this with great interest. I can attest that the V with the automatic is a lead pipe cinch to launch from a standing start in "race mode" if you know what you are doing. I don't know about the manual since I've never gone for a pure acceleration run in a V that was so equipped.

I am certain that the F10 M5 will take the 2009-2012 V if properly launched, if for no other reason than BMW clearly had the V in their sites when they designed the new M5 and made sure they could beat the V from a standing start before they brought the car to market. Of course, the supercharged OHV 6.2 L LSA V-8 in the V can be bumped up with horsepower and torque at any time if Cadillac wants to take back the 0-60 or quarter mile crown from the F10 M5. The version of the LSA in the new Camaro ZL1 is already good for 580 horsepower and 556 lb-ft of torque, with even more available as demonstrated by the numerous aftermarket mods that take the engine up to 700 hp and beyond.

That being said, I have no doubt that the M5 is going to be a superior car in every other way, even if GM takes the V engine up to 600 hp.

I've enjoyed my time in the V immensely--it's superbly capable on the track and surprisingly refined on the road--but I'm really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the new M5 and then likely trading in my very low mileage V for what I'm sure will be the better car.
