True it's funny too the question I get ask most from people who don't really know my car is " is that a V8?" To which I respond yes ttv8 and then silence lol

... typical qs

F10 M5 - TTV8, really? how much power did you say?

E92 M3 - wow that's V8?

Yep it's funny they never really ask but if so I just say rated at 575 ..and silence again :

That being said I will either go Pcar or M3 (after I drive one) at the end of my lease depending on timing of the next M5. I hope to catch M3 at LCI then again M5 at LCI

I came from a E92 V8 , and back in the time , my friends E60 M5 was faster in a straight line ! im talkin 420hp vs 507hp , and the weight of 1650 kg vs 1790 kg.

so think again , the new M5 CP 575hp would totally rape a M3 440hp on a straight line , the M3 its better to handle , and track purpose. for all rounder the M5 its better , and i think M5´s performance is quite enough on the track for any comum person.

Except your a racecar driver or something.

I had a 991 , i needed more space. I ordered the M5. i know the M5 is way way faste than the 911 , but the 911 handles better. the V8 TT is just heavy power and torque !

now , the M3 , has a very good price , why not ? i went M5 , for the extra buck.

I hope i dont regret it , because my fav car of all time its the M3 V8 .

Hello,

I just saw some speed metrics and it looks like M4 is just as fast as M5. Sounds pretty good to me. Now we need some real world runs to confirm that.

Maybe stock for stock. Not sure how much room is left in that motor for mods and power potential. I also can't see the M4 pulling as hard as the M5 up top. But you never know.
If the ecu can be cracked in both cars, my money is on the M5 where 1000hp is probably achievable.
