However, outhandle? I think you might struggle there. I've spent a lot of time messing with BMW's here in Europe and a standard M5 is the best handling saloon car in the world. I have driven a few Mustangs and none of them have got anywhere close. I've been in a M5 where the only mod was the removal of the speed limiter and a slight tweek in the ECU and that car ran at over 200mph in testing. The car runs on 18inch alloy wheels because you cant fit anything smaller due to disc and caliper size. It also has floating brake discs, like sports bikes, for even better braking performance, those things stop very quickly.

The M5 was developed on the Nuerburgring race circuit in Germany where handling is everything. The stock M5 takes about 8min 20 to do a lap a fully tuned up Porsche 911 does it in about 7min 50.
Ever notice that there's someone who gets sore and trys to ruin your victory party, lol. OK, if you look at my mods, the only thing that is major is the Vortech. It is strapped on to an otherwise stock OEM 1994 5.0 engine. The other upgrades are fo fuel and ignition support.

You would be surpised at what a fully prepped Mustang suspension can do. My friend Jay who races his M3 helped me with my suspension and he even said it would shame a M5 in the twisties. I can take ramps way faster then him without sliding.

Ah heck, I don't know why Im explaining this to you....who cares...

I BEAT A $80,000 M5 !!!
