@scheurwaterj

first the m5 is probably 2000-2003 at that time 300c srt didnt exist

second m5 2000-2003 has 400 bhb with a 4.9L while srt8 has 6.1 with 425 and that shows how advanced bmw is to get this much power from a smaller engine 11 years ago !!

third: Half of what u see on that srt is german including its chassis.,transmission, and from suspension and exhaust all borrowed from MERCEDES since it was bough chrysler & became daimler chrysler

while the M5 is just pure self-made german car

every time I see an e39 on the road it turns my head as I admire it's classic beauty, and I notice them doing the same thing to my car, an e39

@moalalwaa thTs why the bmw's 5.0 makes almost as much as the srt8 (and I own one of these bad boy srt8's and I've raced an e:9 2000 m5 with the same amount of people in my car as this video and I still won.) oh and btw my younger bro has the new 5.0 mustang that shits on this car. So suck it. Try to win an argument on a different video. I win.:)

[isaacps3freakman]

@moalalwaa the 6.1 HEMI is an sohc making 425 hp and 420 trq and the m5 is a dohc making 400 hp 395 trq. Ya you European jackass get your damn facts straight. IDIOT...

@moalalwaa

If you don't realize technology and car price point go hand in hand, then you should read up on it. The M5 was $85k in '03 and the SRT8 is $50k, today. VANOS/OHC/individual throttle bodies don't come cheap.

A replacement S62 is 5x's the cost of the SRT 6.1. Please don't say that GM/Ford/Chrysler don't have the engineering capability to build what BMW does, because the fact is that their price point doesn't allow it.
