BMW E60 M5 Just went for a blast in one about 30mins ago

That car is fucking epic

The acceleration is unbelievable

Plus is a bloody family car with 507 horses under the bonnet

Wish i had a go in the dry though. Got to be one of the best all round cars ever made

Fastest car I've driven on the road is a 4.5litre TVR Chimaera (0-60 is about 4.5s). Weirdly tho when I follow this in my 330d I can pretty much keep up - the TVR creeps ahead, but there's little in it - however the TVR feels much faster than the 330d when you drive it.

I had a Corvette C6 Z06 for two weeks as a hire car in the states. 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds and 1/4 mile in 11.8 seconds. That thing was mental.

This was my first car when i was 18 had it tuned to 280BHP by BBR racing, it was the most fun car i have owned to date, the speedo went of the clock at top end as the mini only had 150 so was not sure how fast it really was..It was stupid for a mini!

My dad had BBR Mitsi Shogun (old boxy shape) - not far off 300bhp and rather mental!

BBR do some crazy tuning! I bet that shogun went well for what it was!

Em135eye · 07-14-2010, 09:15 AM

0-60 in under 7 seconds (I think) - not bad for a heavy metal box! Only visual mod was bigger wheels needed to handle to shove (apparently). Shame it did about 12mpg...

That is on a prepped track with the slicks on. It is epic though when you can pull a crotch rocket in a car!!! If I can get a little more traction out of the hole then I may be able to tip the 1.99 region. I could load the video of that run if you guys want.

Cheers

I do have a set of street tires for the car which are 18s but not very low profile. I need some sidewall to get traction!

Close up of sidewall:
