How often do you lap the nurburg ring on your way to work? Ringtimes are way over estimated because 9/10 of the drivers that would buy an AMG, M-series or V series are in no way capable of even coming close to those times.
I find it hard to fathom that someone would take a large hulking heavy beast like an M5 at a track and enjoy it that much. I guess you'd need a track with lots of open high speed corners and long straights.
Personally I'd take a BMW 550i over an M5 any day. It's simply a much smoother ride and in daily traffic makes just a lot more sense. Probably the best of the series is 535d, but i'm not big on diesel.
It's actually quite good at the track --- it would take tremendous amounts of skill (like a pro-level racer) to find its limits. The car may not carry as much speed into the corners as an M3, but it is plenty fast. On the Nurburgring, we were passing all sorts of smaller, sportier cars, and that was with Sabine drifting through every corner.
Well, Nordschleife would qualify as a fast track with high speed sweepers, no?
If you're driving in traffic, anything bigger than a Honda Fit is overkill. I drive my M3 in the city and I often scratch my head wondering why I wasted all this money when the speed limit is 50km/h. It's not until I hit the onramps that I remember...
The GT-R is 90% computer, 10% driver. Not saying it isn't a beast, there isn't much to respect about jamming on the gas pedal and letting the car drive itself.
Why is that? Because the M5 is cooler than a 550i? I agree, but in normal traffic both the 550i and the M5 are overkill. Most of the time you're in a traffic jam anyway and if you speed you get a ticket. I don't know how it is in the states, but in the Netherlands the chance of being caught speeding is extremely high.

wow, good driver.
Dear lord, that is probably the best driving video Ive ever seen.
