Yes, being one of the first handful of people in the world to have a tuned N54 engine, I am well aware of it's capabilities when tuned.
But I thought we were talking about M3 vs M5 here?
You mentioned the M3 being faster than the M5. I just pointed out (in clarification) that it is not in fact faster in a straight line, and I would of thought all would know the M5 wasn't intended to be the track star the M3 is (not saying the M5 is a slouch on a track), but it was not the primary intent of the M5 like the M3, as Scott pointed out, each M has a different focus.
