So, at last...

Here is a short video of a BMW M5 Hartge and an Audi RS4.
As you can see it was raining heavily, so we couldn't really do all the tests as we wanted, nor as many as we wanted.
Call me a whimp, but I was getting aquaplaning in the M5 at 200 km/h + ...
I'm in the M5, and in the run 2 I give the Rs4 about a 1 second go-ahead. From facts we know the M5 is faster (in a straight line), but I was surprised to see how long time it took to catch up.
It really felt like ages. As far as I know the M5 was set to maximum performance, but I think (hope) that the ESP was still on.
Anyway, the M5 runs GREAT with the Hartge suspension, it ought to be stock!
The facts as I know them:
BMW M5 Hartge
~35.000 km
The cars has about 525 hp according to Hartge.
"No limits" - True V Max possible, about 320 km/h
21" Hartge
Silverstone Metallic
Audi RS4
~2500 km
Apart from Abt V Max the car is 100% stock.
19" wheels
Suzukagrau Metallic
