Actually youngblood without checking the stats i think the 330 posts a quicker time than the 540 sport(which i believe to be automatic transmisson only with a 4.4i V8, right?) nice car nonetheless thought about getting one myself as a cheaper alternative to the M5(btw i dont own a M5 before i get called out on it)
Maybe on paper those cars are faster, but out where it counts-the street- my car hasn't lost to a 3 yet. I've never had the chance to get with an M3, but I can pull with them till the upper speeds and then I'm probably losing but not getting too badly broken.
My car, is an automatic (I wanted cruising, not the hassle of a clutch in the local traffic), with Steptronic.
The car is insanely fast, I can't imagine what an M5 would be like with the added 100 horsepower (200 more in the newer M5's!). I've done 130 over the MacArthur Maze with my buddy in his GS400 hanging behind me. The car didn't even budge, it was hairy but only when I realized I was going as fast as I was! I probably could have gotten another 10mph around that turn but I figured I was going fast enough!
