I'm going to have to assume he is talking about an E34 M5 in which case he is probably telling the truth. an E39 M5 would do 100, slow down to 60, then back up to 100 before you got up to 100

I posted cos i was impressed that the time effort and money spent on getting my ---- together and finally setup at the rolling road has all paid off for the fact that I can stick it to top end cars...... cant be arsed to go on cause its not worth it at the end of the day i'm the one who enjoys driving my motor and i know what it can do and what it cant

Cap, perhaps you would tell me your setup?

bambooseven, i have no idea what model M5 it was but its a 1994 i think if that helps
