Which Car?

Since the M5 is no longer in production but the future concept is out, which one are you referring to? If we're talking about the E39 400hp V-8 6MT M5, that gets my vote over the current MB E55 AMG. If we're talking about the E60 500hp V-10 SMG M5, I think I'd prefer the E55 AMG. (That would change if BMW decided to offer the E60 M5 with a 6MT.)

Here are my answers:
Ferrari Modena 360 (Porsche 911 Turbo a close second.)
E39 BMW M5 > MB E55 AMG > E60 BMW M5 (with SMG only)
Aston Martin DB9 (Lambo Gallardo a close second and the Ferrari 575 a close third.)
McLaren F1 (Followed closely by the Carrera GT.)

I've figured it out... You're Jeremy Clarkson, aren't you? Why do you hate a transmission which is technically superior to a regular manual? It can do the job better than you! I guess it's just a control thing.

I :heart: the SMG transmission, I think it's a marvel, especially for people like me that suck at driving stick. Our new 400hp v8 m3 should be really nice with an SMG. 😀

The one you can buy from BMW. :roll:

You put a Mustang Cobra up against a Ferrari 360?

Maybe you should add "Hyandai Accent" to the category at the bottom with the McLarens, I'm sure it'd get picked a lot.

The Cobra is now around the performance level of a z06... Fair competition for the Ferrari.

Damnation. 😛

The old m5. We don't really know anything about the new one, other than it will look much much better. :heart: bangle.

MAybe in horsepower, but one's a $150,000 Ferrari and one's a $35,000 Ford. I own a Cobra and I still think it's way outclassed by a Ferrari costing 6 times as much.

In a straight line they're about even.

I'd like to see that Cobra take on the Z06 on a real race course. The Cobra would stand no chance.
