I seriously doubt that even a fully modded Z will come close to the M5

I would take the new M5 over an FI Z.

If you have the money get the M5, that car is nice! See you could add all the mods you want but that M will be stock and still handle like crazy. Z w/ all the mods is less reliable especially if you're going FI, to prove it I just blew my G, yea there's a few things needed to be addressed but still it's more chance to break. If I had the choice I'd get that M5, M3 or the new M that's coming out in 06. BMW makes really nice rides IMO.

M5 = 4050lbs

I don't care how much power it has that thing will probably suck on the track and not be all THAT fun to drive with trying to handle that much weight in the turns

doesn't look very sporty, then again hardly any BMW's do aside from the Z series...

I hope you are kidding. A stock M5 would KILL an FI Z on any track. It can pull OVER 1G STOCK on a skidpad. It also has an AMAZING euro-suspension.

You will see them around AZ soon enough...just play with one and you will find out what im talking about

I seen a image on the net somewhere and it was on 3 wheels one front off the ground. Yes they handle like crazy, I have a video of an older M5 drifting as easily as any Z would. If someone wants to host it I can send it to them, they have a cam on his feet and a cam on the car. You're crazy BMW's look good and the interior kills nissans interior, to top it off the leather is much better quality. This is IMO so don't get mad everyone has their opinions. You just seem to really like your Z, I have a G35 and I like it and I like the Z but I think that BMW engineers their cars much better.

alright, I didn't know it can handle that much on the skidpad

I'll admit I'm picky as hell with what cars I like. The other day I was at the lotus dealer looking at a lamborghini gallardo and couldn't believe how absolutely enormous the thing is. Kinda turned me off from lusting over the car. So take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I'm sure BMW's interiors are nicer than the Z's, but when I'm driving, I'm not looking around at the interior

LoL.. Why are u guys comparing a m5 to a 350z/g35coupe??? THey cost about twice as much... Hey guess what guys, i think my g35 coupe is better than a honda civic!!! why dont we start a thread about that!!!

no prob sentry65. They don't look like they can handle as well as they do. Where in AZ are ya!? Did you go to the Lotus place on raintree.dr?

pretty much all BMW's are like that even the lowest series handles good. Sentry65 you have an e-mail that will accept a 3.75mb video you can check out this older M5 drifting

sentry65

iTrader: (11)

yeah I was at the raintree dr. dealer

I live in the ahwatukee area - what about you?

G35cTT, I don't think I have enough room to accept anything big for emails. I'll take your word for it though

If someone could host it you could see it, it's a pretty cool video. Let me see if I can find someone and I'll link you. I got one now so hold on a sec

You should take your Ride to Juan at Nissan of Scottsdale and tell him Tom with the black 350Z sent you. He will hook you up.

m3 would smoke a z in the 1/4 mile. i read somewhere that said the new m5 runs in the high 13's in the 1/4 mile.

Your an idiot congrats

I had the choice of getting an M3, I traded a BMW Mcoupe for the 350z. I am spending about 25-30,000 on mods. Basically I am looking to take out the 06 Z06's. It will be street legal when finished as well. Looking at low 10's when finished with a top speed of over 180.

Hell my friends civic smokes Z06's and M3's already. There is always a faster fish.

M5's are nice for old people who are looking to get a break from speed and modding. Other then that get something with POTENTIAL, not just looks.

Just to throw this in, the supercharged M3 by AA wont even be able to touch my Z when finished. VQ35 owns all if you know what your doing.

BTW if this appears to not makes sense, I have been drinking lol.

Stock M3/M5 vs a twin turbo g/z with internals... no contest... The g/z is over 500 punds lighter with more than 500 at the back tires... plus it stil will be a lot cheaper than getting either car...

i think the Z smokes an M3 but for the 5 it has to be heavily modded
