Has there ever been an Excellence article about 928's in ORR? If not, there should be.

I sorry but I just can't get into this. A HEAVILY modded 928 beats a stock (presumably) M5 by one car length.

OK...

How's it compare to a GTR? ;-)

It's not about the M5. It's about a really well built 928 engine that makes gobs of power. Everybody wants more of a good thing...

No matter what you buy or build...no matter how tough you think you are...there's always something faster and someone tougher. You look hard and long enough and you can get your *** handed to you, one way or another.

We're not trying to build the fastest cars on earth....just trying to have fun with our 928s.

I love my 928. It's a very capable car and I like seeing what people are doing with them. I'd love to put 2 turbo's on my 79 and see what it can do.

But I'm not going to then boast how I beat the pants off a stock s2000. (For the record my stock 928 will probably be slammed by a stock Accord.. ) Apples to Apples.. that's all I'm saying.. :-)

Have you ever driven a late model M5?
They are scary fast cars, hell any of them past the 2000 model are freaking fast cars.

I'd say that being able to pull on one of those is very deserving of a bragging rights post.

So..how much is a 2009 M5....and how much is into the GTS? I'm going to wager pretty close to equal dollars in both cars...

If I had the cash..it would be a tough decision which to get...would love a GTS stroker...but the M5's are sweet machines

Actually, one can find those M5's for under $40k. So, unless you bought one new the GTS + Stroker wizardry is much more expensive.
