Looks like our M5 buddy Ryan Needham is lying to his M5 cronies :D

[Cobra4B]

Check out this thread forwarded to me by one of my buddies w/ an M5...

"Normal Driving" yeah... how about loosing to a stock C5.

Remember this thread? And the resulting beatdown Joe gave him which resulted in the frag'd clutch...

I know none of the parties involved but that's funny. Some people are just chronic liars for no reason whatsoever :dunno:

I have an account over there. Should I pull a jerry springer style expose?

yes sir!

[Cobra4B]

^ YES... I have an account awaiting approval, but if someone can post it up that'd be sweet.

[DickButt]

he did admit in the thread that he was shifting at 7k getting on it.....i think he was just saying he wasnt power shifting when it broke.

[RandomTask]

Just for the record. He had DR's on, missed third, was bouncing off the rev limiter, finally got third and dumped clutch. Then I heard it explode as tiki's car got showered in debris.

[KCvette]

haha...wait didn't he say he pulled C5Z's....????? and the car he lost to was a stock C 5? I may be a new vette owner but didnt the C5Z have idk 405HP and a stock C5 like mine only 345-350. I like M5's but man did that dude fail.

[Cobra4B]

^ Correct... which is why it was so funny.

Looks at Jryan's sig. . . your my twin! no homo. . . hey, if you ever wanna line up, i'd like to see how fast my C5 is compared to stock as everyone says mine is a factory freak.

[KCvette]

M5 (way too much money)
C5 (moderately priced sports car)
Getting beat by a car (stock) with alot less HP----Priceless

Maybe, I just got mine not too long ago. Still getting a feel for it. But hey it'd be nice to see how well I do. Mine is an M6 Hatch.

You're forgetting one is a 1,000lbs lighter common domestic tin can bolted together by numbnuts in Michigan; while the other is a proper 4 door luxury preformance saloon created by the best manufacturer in automotives today.

That said, the guy in the OP is a retard, and I'm making a post now.

Ok if you read the full post (including links) you would see that the M5 owner has made claim to having much done to the M5. So it kinda defeats your original argument. Not too mention that the "domestic tin can" is one of the most respected sports cars around. Especially considering it runs with all the highend exotics for alot less cash MSRP. Sorry but you have just made yourself look like an ass.

The Corvette is SMC and urethane... hardly tin. Plus its put together in Bowling Green, KY at a very impressive facility which Ive toured a few times.

Nice research Brian! I enjoyed killing the last hour or two at work reading up about this dipshit.

[Fabrik8]

Yes every C6 is faster than the C5 Z06, I spend a bunch if time at the tracks both 1/4 and road, and you guys are far from accurate with your statements. Their is not a stock c5 Z06 on this planet that will trap 117mph or better. No where!!!!! not even with a tune and drag radials.

With 405bhp. it is impossible!

Did you look up co-efficiant drag? The e39 m5 and the C5 Z06 have the same co-efficiate drag? They in-fact have the same areo dynamics...

There is a bunch neither of you know and your post have shown it. I know what i have and i have posted it. If you look i had a horrible 60ft time and still clock off a 12.48@111. I trapped 113 that day and I know i can pull a 12 teen @ a 113-114 they way she sits... show me a stock c5 z06 or even a slightly modded one that does that.

I have provided all the proof I need!

I love the "bullshit" or the post your time slips or the notahhh that didnty happen....

Go to drag times, do some research and get back to me. I will post my time slip the next time i go and it will e much faster than a 12.48@111.

Traction will be beautiful!

Awesome. Just awesome. Flaunting your own ignorance always proves you know what you're talking about. I love the sheer stupidity of the green text, and then the absolutely perfect follow-up in blue. You can't make this shit up, it's too good..
I should take some lessons from him about areo dynamics (excellent spelling, almost as good as co-efficiate drag). Then we could discuss frontal area and speed dependent boundary layer effects, and how an isolated statistic doesn't mean anything out of context. Or how getting into bench racing arguments with other bench racers never gets you anywhere but into more circular arguments. Epic fail.

[F8L 500]

I would really love to hear what he says I trap in my GT.........or any other car on this board for that matter.
We should all pm him our cars and hp and get the whole run down on exactly what we trap and why.

I love googlers ignorance :)

M5 driver needs to bite the bullet and swap in a LS1 :D

[RandomTask]

I think the worse part about this whole situation, is that even after the video. . . even after he blew up and me and Tiki waited on the side of the road with him. After Tiki used his baller status to get this guys car towed for free, he continued to talk about how my car wasn't fast while I was giving him a free ride home to BFE ocean view. I think Ryan was a nice guy, he just needs to be a whole lot less arrogant.

he was still running his mouth when you guys were helping him out big time?!?!?! I would have dropped that bitch off on the side of the road. You should have left his ass there when we left

[KCvette]

wow....you went above and beyond. I would have said "sorry about your bad luck, dueces."

Or if he wants power, wait till HPF releases their twin turbo kit for the M5.
