Yup. The M-5 is a nice 500 h.p autobahn car...classy, cushie, and expensive....very nice though if one likes cruising fast .... and can afford the maintenance.

The m5 would have won easily if they kept going. But for that race, awd ftw!

That's nice.....One "Pays" for what they get ( Nothing is free) .....if ya like a expensive fast top-end cruiser on a nice dry sunny day. With that kinda of money, I suppose one would trade it when it hits 50,000 miles.

that is the last generation m5 which only boasts 400hp and weighs a ton.....easy kill for a stock sti. now if it were the current generation M5 it might have been a little different.

Power to weight on the current gen m5 is awful compared to the power to weight of a 20G variant STI.. anything north of 380whp and you should be able to take a m5/m6.
I've a GT52 based sti, and with close to 370whp i have taken m6s from dig n roll... POST 130MPH IS ANOTHER STORY.

Excellent!!!^^^ Anything over 85- 130+ in a street race (which is dangerous anyway) is Lux-performance cruiser (dry day) Territory (400-500 h.p.) STI- Territory is 0-100 or so.....which to most would be good enough. I personally like acceleration....and quick-ness out of a small engine- (wet or dry).
Just an opinion.

Exactly, me too. Price to acquire and ease of modding power makes the STI / Evo the way to go. If you know how to drive they will eat most other performance cars with minimal mods. I've killed a Viper 0-70 in my 2004 STI with header, exhaust, turbo, fuel pump, injectors and tune (maybe 4K in mods). Obviously he would have destroyed me past 90mph, but the road wouldn't allow that.

If you are street racing you are rarely going to get north of 120mph on most roads.
