i think that this car isnt that slow against a porsche 993 turbo or a ferrari
550 maranello. its "only" 2 seconds behind them in the hockenheim short. and in
the quarter mile 1 second. and this car weights a lot and have less horsepower.

I love this car but keep hearing lot's of engine problems. Is it true?

With the speed limiter removed, a base M5, no after market mods, will do 187mph
drag limited. Put on some mods and the top speed climbs higher.

I cannot understand you. You are having some language issues I suppose.
Eeeee, So/So..
2 or 1 seconds behind are too much .
73k?! youd be out of your mind to spend that much i gurantee you will find one
for under 20 easy!
