M5 no Match for Viper

[LongIslandSnake]

Why do some people insist on proving that their car isn't as fast as another. The M5 is a great car (Minus the butchered transmission), while it's fast...it's not in the same league as Viper/Z06 etc...

Well on sunday this idiot in his new M5 found out the hardway on the LIE. The funniest part is that after getting killed everytime...he gave me this look like "whatever I have a BMW and that's a just a dodge"....which is so funny to me because I have many cars and could easily purchase an M5 if I wanted to. Shortly put...the 380+ft of torque is no match for the 520+ft in the viper...that with the added weight of the M5..makes it no match running against the viper at speed.

What's the deal with BMW and their transmissions? I had one of the 1st E46 M3s to hit the northeast and had to Lemon Law the thing because it went through 3 differentials, 2 transmissions in 6 months! Than BMW refused to give me my money back, and even though I owned 8 BMWs in the Past I had to take them to arbitration to get my money back. That is the reason I will most likely never buy a BMW again. Their arrogance in defending their shotty product was mind-bogling, and it looks like many of you are having the same problem with the M5. It's as if they use their customers as giney pigs for any engine and transmission issues, as opposed to properly testing the product before its released. So they get it right 2-3 years into a model run..and everyone who bought the 1st couple years (usually the enthusiast) get screwed.

With that being said...please don't try and race a viper :) Welcome to the 500hp club...but you're too heavy to play in this league! :)

may be the problem with the owners though - too much testosterone, not enough skill. had no problem keeping up with a 650hp henessy viper in my stock mcoupe at sears (and yes, i have <a href="http://www.dpcars.net/viper1.mpg">video</a>). if your idea of 'racing' is flooring it on the freeway then yeah, i bet a viper would 'win' every time because with very few exceptions viper owners are dumb enough to do that. that's not to say m5 owners are expempt from a few bad apples, but percentage-wise it's a no-brainer. LOL.

He is running away from you. Especially at the end of the track he was so far ahead, that it was not even funny. That was like 30 car lengths at least that. I don't call 30-40+ car lengths as keeping up in the track.

What is your point beyond "Look at me I have a Viper and I can afford an M5"?

Fact is that all M5 owners can afford a Viper. So what! Buy what you like and be happy with it. I find it pointless that you come here to tell us that you beat an M5. So what! It's no secret that Viper's are faster on the straights. What are you going to tell us next? M5's are made in Germany?

Anyone want to take a guess at his personalized license plate?

How do you presume someones finances....I bought the Viper Outright with my own money....so my family has money...so what...why should I feel guilty about that...or enjoying aspects of life that come with that. Hahaha like BMW drivers as a whole are so humble about showing off their rides. Please I see more idiots in M3s giving hard looks to people thinking everyone must be jealous of their car than any other car.

Last time I heard from you, "daddy" was busy using his fancy lawyers to bail you out after BMW learned just how many donuts you'd spun in your little M3 that had the various drivetrain failures. And yes, daddy's lawyer did a good job and got you "your" money back...

I assume that most of the funds in your life come from dad - be it direct handouts, his lawyer getting you your money back, him getting you a kewl job, him fronting you money to go "invest" with, or whatever because based on the way you ACT you lack the maturity to hold the kind of job that would be necessary to have EARNED your lifestyle.

You two are just perfect together.

A congenital liar telling fake stories about fancy cars he does not own and hospital trips he's never taken, backing a spoiled rotten daddy's boy who serially destroys the fancy hardware daddy arranges for him to afford while having daddy's lawyers make sure that he never ever has to take any responsiblity for his constant abuse of those cars.

A match made in heaven I tell you.

Stone...are you ok? I'm worried about you really

Again you can check the public record that I defeated BMW without any Lawyer....

And hell yes I beat the crap out of all my dad's car whenever I get the chance....and when we sell them to you 2nd hand....we tell you it was pampered highway miles.

Daddy this and daddy that.......why do you have daddy issues? Was pops not around to hug you enough?

You must be liberal...because you seem to despise wealth a great deal. My philopshy on wealth is why should anyone have to share their wealth with a minority stranger...when they can spread the butter on the Ralph Lauren Bread that is our life....purple label style
