Well to begin with its a M5 not a M3. And for it having all that power that Lightning wasn't too far behind at the end of the straight away at the beginning

Only reason the lighting wasn't that far behind, was because the BMW couldn't hook.

Well if you had looked at the video in more detail, you would've noticed that the M5 was barely even hitting the gas when it was near the lightning.
When he goes WOT that shit starts flying across the track and flies down it.
That lightning doesn't have ANYTHING on that M5.. at all.

the M5 is faster, but I would rather have the lightning. (& I dont like fords)
reason is cuz that gazillion hp is completely unuseable!! a small track like that was not meant for that car. the only straightaway ends just as he's getting traction- which is gonna give out sooner? the brakes, the tires, then the turbo/eng (in that order)
I wonder how a stock M3 E46 with really sticky tires would do against the turbo M5?!?

Well obviosuly it does if it was right on its ass at the end of the straight away. And all the car does when you hit it is break the ass end loose. So like SilverSRT4Ken said its nice that it has all the hp but when all it does it break traction then what good is it?
How can anyone not see the potential of that car on the racetrack? Well, I guess somebody who doesn't know anything about motorsports except what they see in Super Street may not....
The car has traction, all that tire smoke is from "Drifting" the car. you may have heard of it, it's an up and coming sport in the US but is already pretty popular in a lot of other places in the world. Aside from passing the truck on the inside, which means a lot slower exit speed (the speed you are carrying at the exit) he walks the truck to the tune of several car lengths under acceleration, and a few more under braking. If this was a "ricer from a roll race", you might say that the truck was pwned, rode hard, then put away wet.... If you listen real hard you can hear the M3 driver shouting to the Lightning "Who's your Daddy?" several times...
These are the kind of cars that show up at Onelap, they don't seem all that fast, until *you* have to race them...
The key to using a gazzilon horsepower lies with the driver. Learn to control the foot that presses on the 'go' pedal, and you'll be fine.

lol.....your calling us people that don't know about motorsports except for what we see in Super Street and then you go into talking about drifting? Well I guess since you know oh so much about motorsports you would realize that "drifting" is cool for a show but not for racing. When was the last time you saw Indy, or F1 cars drifting around corners? The answer to that would be never because "drifting" causes you to lose tread a lot faster then usual which would cause you to come in every few laps to get new tires.

Dude not putting you down but Dale Seeley I am pretty sure would probably teach you a lot more about racing and motorsports then you already think you know. He has proved himself as the owner and leading coordinator for his One lap SRT-4 that he has somewhat sponsored by Mopar. His placement in the final of One Lap shows his Knowledge and abilty to race with some of the best drivers in the US. Now Drifting. Controlling a Car sideways around a turn at 90 mph is a lot harder then it looks. Especially when you counter the car at 50 and enter another turn completly side ways controlling the tightness of the turn in by how you control your revs. Most of the time there is another car about 6-10 ft away in a simialr controlled slide. Drifting is not the most practical way but I bet your best drivers in the world would love to drift more then they do currently. In my opionion weaker people perfer to stay in a controlled state Normal Racing and the rest love drifting. He was speaking about the majority of the people on the forums not specifically you. Sometimes life is more interesting and meaning full when you listen and ask question not attack and ridicule.

I know about Dale's racing experience but it just seemed like he was putting us down for saying that the car sucked for that track and started saying how I guess somebody who doesn't know anything about motorsports except what they see in Super Street may not. So it seemed to me that he was trying to show off his racing knowledge and kinda treating us as inferiors who know nothing about racing
