Yes a stock F10 M5 will "blow away" a stock Grandsport if the driver isn't asleep at the wheel. The OP raced from different speeds so 0-60mph times are irrelevant. Yes the Grandsport is quick 0-60mph, but it has been tested 0-150mph in just under 24 seconds. That is nearly 20 seconds to go from 60mph to 150mph. An F10 M5 should go 60-150mph in under 16 seconds (some tests have done it in under 15 seconds). 4+ seconds is an eternity in this context. So the Grandsport that the OP raced must have been modified and just like any Vette, they can be made very lethal. |
You know, perhaps you are right. I remember totally roasting a Z06 very early on in owning my M5 and right after installing the tune and DP. I literally drove around him starting from behind. He was shocked (you could see it in his face as I was pulling by him.) You are correct in how cheap they can be modded. Doesn't take much and they are crazy fast.
