M5 vs Stick Shift rx8
Who would win??

This is more just for fun to see what everyone thinks . I have a 1992 m5, chipped at 320+ horse power, 300 pounds of torque, vs a 2004 rx8 stick shift

Who would win both straight aways and curves??

does it really matter? Because at the end, you're still the **** in the m5.

I'm sure your M5 would win, as long as you put the transmission in "R" for race.

You can try this one. It's almost as good but at least you'll get an idea of what the other link provided.

Are you asking which is faster from light to light?
And which would win in a canyon run?

If the driver are the same, the 8 will loss the M5...
the M5's HP is more than a double than our 8
In the track, HP still a big issue
