What's this got to do with very fast cars? I've never owned a car that gets to max power in 3rd below 70mph. Probably about 85 is normal. Even my wife's pug 107 would have been over 80.
Any petrol car that does must have absurdly short gears.
Yes I don't see what having mega power has to do with it given it's always going to be down to gearing.Any petrol car that does must have absurdly short gears.

The f80 m3 comes close, as max power in 3rd comes in at just 71mph with DCT. Any petrol car that does must have absurdly short gears.

Haha, but about 3 seconds later you'll be in Police VBRJ territory.
I love 4th in the DCT F80. 30mph to 120mph odd in one gear.
Yeah that is good gear. I love 4th in the DCT F80. 30mph to 120mph odd in one gear.
Also 7th 30-120mph WOT can an owner give a comparison as to what car that rate of acceleration feels like - as in 4th fear for another car.
I’m guessing E92 M3?

Not sure what that means, but you won't get the M5 into 7th at 30mph it's geared for over 250mph in 7th. Also 7th 30-120mph WOT can an owner give a comparison as to what car that rate of acceleration feels like - as in 4th fear for another car.

I'm just imagining.....................pootling along at 40mph and flooring it in my old F10 resulted in crazy thrust so long as it was dry
What the hell must this one be like doing the same? I have no desire to own one of these now, but a cheeky test drive might be in order
If it's dry and you have no traction issues , the f10 must be almost as quick as the new one surely from 40mph ? They have around the same power and weight . The difference is off the line where the 4wd allows a massive traction advantage What the hell must this one be like doing the same? I have no desire to own one of these now, but a cheeky test drive might be in order
