Thumbs up Cossie Vs M5!

Just started using my Cossie again after a couple of years since its been laid up.Its on greys with the t34.63 400 bhp.

Simple fact is the E39 M5 is slow compared to it.End of!

Which one will melt into a million little pieces after sitting at 155mph for more than 10 seconds, Also which one will sit at 155mph all day without breaking a sweat?

Neither of them will if the mapping is correct, which it will be on the M5

Where can you sit at 155 all day long??

Cossie is more fun though,M5 is only fun when your going sideways everywhere.

Forget 155mph try 170+ with a simple chip! m5 will eat you up before you know it!

Oh how dare you say that a cossie is quicker than an M5 on passionford! You may even get a ban for this.

And why the hell as comfort come into the equation here?

The M5 is twice the power of a standard cossie and more than likely twice the price lol

Lovely cars though and if i wasn't a silly cunt i'd have one instead of my cossie

A Cossie weighs around 1300kgs...an M5 weighs more than the Sun, only one winner!
I love my cossies and the thrill of a real 400bhp is fantastic!

It's not a great comparison though really is it? lol.

Being honest, i'd love an M5, but i think i'd get bored of it quickly.

Nothing beats driving round town in the sapph, gearbox whining its nuts off, people staring in pure disgust at how loud one single car can actually be

They're an amazing machine straight out of the box, which isnt THAT surprising when you consider they were Ł60k+ new.

Comparing them to a tuned cossie isnt really fair, as straight line speed aside, it would muller a saff in every department.

I still love seeing a cossie on full blat though!

I personally love driving my Cossie. It's a stage 3 2 wheel drive sapphire on standard wheels etc and it's so much fun and so comfortable to drive. At the moment I'm driving the Time Attack car all over the place and getting back into the Cossie makes me smile, even my mate who is using the cossie while I have the Skyline is starting to enjoy driving it You can drive it and get out of it at the end of a long journey and not feel like you've been anywhere, I guess they were built as fast executive cars

I love them and drive lots of different cars but I can't let it go because of how nice they are to drive and how raw they are I know why Pete keeps coming back I've tried selling mine twice now and both times on test drive I've realised why I have it

Pmsl at yet another thread ass kissing bmw m5's lol, don't know why anyone would ever buy anything else it seems! Sure an m5 is going to be more reliable blah blah but an old RS just has so much more character and that is what owning rs's is all about....we all know they can be unreliable moneypits the majority of the time!
