That's one HELLOVA rocket you built yourself there... Hot damn!
Not as much money as you think - good friends with Mo
As for the other car, put the deposit down last fall. Didn't expect this project to take a year and two months to complete

Looking at the graph, does it mean that if you don't get up to 74MPH, you don't get the 606WHP?

You moved? Damn, I miss having you in my 'hood. LOL

Anyway, can't wait to see it in person.

And puhlease can I have a ride in your newest toy, the M5? Pretty please? With sugar on top? LOL That's gonna be an absolute monster as well. I still can't get used to the new 5's quirky looks. But with the 4 tailpipes, the ground effects and then one touch of that pedal...and all is forgiven.

ENJOY both of your monster toys. As you know, 600HP in Maryland/VA area = lots of tickets BE CAREFUL! Just take it to the track and let that baby run like it's supposed to.

Oh sh@#! There's TWO 600HP beasts in Maryland!!!!????? Holy sh@#!

Impressive.

Yes, I mistook you for Jeff.

Well, uh, the "pretty pleases", "sugar on top" and outright begging still stands for a ride in the M5. I could detail it for you, check the airpressure, SOMEthing. I'll earn that ride, somehow, someway.

damn you are putting all the gs's to shame on here in the hp category...nice work and keep it pimpin in the M5 but smg is not all that in the M5 they wont make manuals for another year or so from what i read...dad has a 645 ci w/smg and it's strictly business you can't relax in that bad boy b/c it always ends up some how getting out of auto mode where it shifts for you...smg is tight but its not tight sometimes just my opinion...nonetheless the hp in M5 is awesome and that v10 is out of this world, my neighbor has one and that is the baddest sounding vehicle i have ever heard...next comes the 645 ci pure sexyness!
