Default Random question....how would a Stage 2+ car do against an E39 M5?

Just noticed a mean looking charcoal grey M5 parked in a drieveway while walking around my neighborhood and it got me thinking...how would an S4 with ECU/downpipes/exhaust do against this car? I would think it would be a heck of a race.

i think an M5 would leave you. (top end speeds)

Default a few surgeons i work with have E39 M5s...

we have chatted about running against each other (im stage 2+). now i havent ever driven an M5, but just by the sounds of things, i would say the M5 would win out (also depends on what type of run)...

unless maybe you throw some 100 octane in, and the guy sucks at driving.

Default Here's my experience.....

I had a little more than the normal stage 2+ car, but close enough considering I was still on k03s....<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1367744.phtml">Click!</a></li></ul>

My experience is 0-120 S4 is faster, after 120 mph the M5 wins

From a stop, I'd say driver's race. If you know how to launch, you'll win up to a certain speed

I don't think I knew you were modded when I wrote that response.

*Ding* Unless you run race fuel, then you can hold on until 140mph. :-P

E39s M5s are terrible from a stand still, so easy to go up in smoke or bog. But, I love them. :-)
