I suspect a sh*tload, as evidenced by the original video which I believe is stock vs stock.



Also, the 50mph roll start is a huge advantage for the M5, not only because the rwd launch is negated, but because 60-130 is the sweet-spot for the M5, especially a tuned M5.

In case anyone was wondering how an FF competes in a standing 1/4 mile competition.

The FF is one of those cars that you need to drive to experience for yourself. I took it home for a weekend and I still hold it up as one of the most amazing cars that I have ever driven. One thing that I have learned in owning a GT3 is that having the fastest car doesn't make it the greatest car. It is the emotion and connection that ultimately wins out. You get that in the FF. It is luxury but very performance oriented luxury. That V12 has amazing throttle response at 0-100+. Power delivery is always right there. And the sound of a Ferrari V12....oooooohhhhhhhh. Truly nothing like it.

The FF does EVERYTHING you expect it to and then some. THAT is the real accomplishment of this car. VERY well rounded with little sacrifice to anything. It performs extremely well and it has that unique Ferrari appeal. Honestly, if Ferrari V12s didn't drop like rocks, I'd buy one for the wife so I could drive it when I wanted to. In fact, a used one may be in the near future for us when she tires of the M6.
