996 450 vs M5 which wins?
Discussion
A couple of friends of mine have these cars and today day we were discussing the usual topic of which one will be quickest 0-top speed obviously they could'nt agree.
The M5 is standard but with the limiter in place,the turbo has the factory kit.
Before they eventually lock horns just thought i'd see what the forum thought.

Its an E60 and rather nice,light blue colour,he says its standard but the wheels dont look stock nor does the quad exhaust.
Really just wanted to hear what you lads thought,as i have'nt read any tests or seen any lap time data regarding the two cars side by side.
I'm quite sure someone on here will have them,also this forum turns over rather quicker than what i'm used to at the moment,hence the reason i posted here.
Ps clubsport i have had a look but i cant find it,maybe its because i dont know what i'm looking for?

Rob, I reckon the X50 will win on say a 0-150 but the M5 won't be far behind......Of course, DucatiGary will be some way in front of both you.
Evo's figured times:
996TT (non X50) was 0-150 in 24.9 and M5 22.9 over same increment. You can lop 2/3 seconds off the TT time with X50 kit.

Sorry guys but a stock 996TT would lose against the M5:

You could modify the 996TT to 510+bhp then it would keep up:

lets be fair here, if the company wasent paying and it was your own money, what would you rather have, the pinnacle of near 40 years of constant design and improvments or a bmw ?
so, a piece of motorsport history or, a bmw.
a desing classic no matter what the age, OR a bmw .. .. .. ..
surely any sane person would come to the same conclusion, bmw M series cars wish they where porsches, why settle for second best?
