if they were really going 100MPH, they either weren't racing, or there was too much traffic to really race.

either way, who cares! (aparently I do enough to post in this thread)

Us Germans own.

You got bitch slapped by us Americans remember?

Germans did, or Nazis? Germans and Nazi, not the same. To call Germans Nazis is like calling Russians Bolsheviks (they were never the majority at the voting polls).

Freeway races are never races; just spirited driving with a temporary companion. But regardless, even though I despise Bimmers, a new M5 would smack anything from Ford, save for the GT40.

But even the new M5 needs two more cylinders, 50-100 more HP, and less curb weight to pull the same performance as Mercedes's E55 AMG has been putting out since 2003. It just goes to show that no matter how fast something is... on some level there will always be something faster.

What makes me laugh is when, say, a ricer runs up alongside a Ferrari; tries to engage the driver; Ferrari driver refuses; then riceboy runs to his friends and says he took a Ferrari.

mercedes e55 is supercharged. having an NA with less displacement than a supercharged engine with more displacement to have the same output is amazing for the NA engine. Anybody can just slap on a sc and call it a day, but only few can make a 10 cylinder high revving f1-inspired engine.

100mph and not accelerating is not a race. Most street races, especially on the freeway, will go up to 120-130 mph.

Supastar What is that? A probe?

I drive that fast backing out of my garage.

you're an idiot.

and 100 mph is only the first few seconds of the race. 130++ sounds about right.

wtf dude? There's no rice on that thing, it looks good for what it is. Sure it's lowered and has nice rims but that's NOT ricing a car!! If there were TypeR stickers, some chinese characters, fart can exhaust or biplane wing on it, then THAT is rice.

Nice Car btw supastar1568!

99 % chance they werent racing but just speeding down together for fun. And if was a real highway race the M5 is a highway monster built for the autobahn, it would top out much higher then a mustang.
