Last issue of Sport Auto has the Supertest of the M5 CP, they had some interesting comments after their MAHA dyno session, which was also one of the issues we discussed in those underrated or not threads. I have not yet received my copy of the magazine in the mail, so I don't know what lap time it did on the Nurburgring. http://www.sportauto.de/marken/news/...r-8867640.html Quote:
I guess they basically say that this is a circular debate that probably never will have a conclusion... However, this dyno test indicates significant underrating of the S63Tu in the M5 CP. Even though Sport Auto discusses exactly the issues we also mentioned with the EU +/- 5% allowed tolerance... Last edited by Boss330; 11-13-2014 at 10:50 AM.. |

With 650 hp on tap on track that rewards big power. Sure seems like the M4 has rubbish, ragged handling with too much TQ for the tires...

BTW, Auto Bild tested the M5 30 Jahre with 600hp. They measured it to 607hp at the crank... They use a different dyno that usually seem to be more consistently close to manufacturer claimed numbers. If they got 607hp on the 600hp version, the CP with 575 should be around 583hp on the dyno tool used by Auto Bild. But that's not really the point! As you say, that the M4 is faster on a hp track like the Nurburgring must mean it's not all bad... Auto Bild also said that at the moment it's BMW M that make the best cars of the trio (Audi RS, AMG and BMW M). They have the M5 and M4 cab on comparison tests this issue. And the BMW's win... |

Let's not forget that the E92 M3 GTS comes equipped with very sticky sport cup tires. The F80/F82 come with the Super Sports summer tires, so if the F80/F82 were on cup tires, it would even be faster than the E92 M3 GTS on the Nordschleife. Very impressive.
I still want to see how the standard E92 M3 does with sport cups. I'm sure it'll get below 8 min with them on the Nordschleife.
