And your 'assuming' the 5.0 can "easily get to 160+" with the limiter. I know my M3 can get to 170-ish with the "limiter." I've done it. You know what happens when you assume....
And funny how a bigger engine with more torque still can't beat the M3. Hang with it, sure, but beat it, no. Kind of sad.

The M3 is just a beefed up 3 series with an enhanced engine and added bells and whistles. You're exactly what the OP is referring despite the fact that he's a troll.
Why is this assumption so far off? If a 4.0L V8 can reach 170, why is it so difficult for a 5.0V8 with similar hp and torque to reach 170?
I agree with most of it, except the sad part.
