You have to hand to GM. Really think about it, GM built a M5 size car that has better 0-60, 1/4 mile, 60-0 braking, lap times, skid pad, and slalom. Me personally I still have a hard time believing it, but they actually did it.

Now bring on the next gen M5.
Why are you having such a hard time believing it?

It has more power and torque so that takes care of the accelerations times, the braking of the M5 isn't it's strongest point compared to other rivals and as for lap times and slalom, well this is all to do with grip and nothing else, if the thing does all of the above and still has a better ride, steering feel, etc, then I will be impressed but to me it sounds like a lot of numbers and nothing else.
