That thing is sweet I want one. 285's thats crazy

[nickmpower]

0-60 in 3.95 seconds? holy shit!

Ironically I think the 7 speed is probably the key to the car's amazing performance numbers (regardless of all the bitching about SMG.)

I don't see any paddle shifters on the steering wheel, whats goin on with that?

Where are the Euro Rice fenders? The brakes do look cheap for a 500 HP car too. I smell BS! Its some idiot who has a 5 series and is going around saying he has an M5.

Wasn't there a sighting like a year ago on some flatbed where a dude took pics of an M5 before getting bitched at by the driver? I believe in that pic the car had simply massive brakes on it, the rears looked as large as the current front brakes. As long as the car has other elements missing from it (taped up vents, etc) I doubt these are the production brakes. After all you can hide every other performance fact about the car as long as you keep the hood shut and the car off, but just sitting there you can obviously see the brakes - I think they knew this.

I agree.

Nice sighting, though. Is that road grit on the tires? Doesn't look like paint. Damn that thing must have been driven a lot.
