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.

Bump up for my car poll, which is better than Jeff's.

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.
