 Anyone who hasn’t BTDT should - big grins!

 Just a joke. :-)
 
 The M5 and M3 are great cars. Regardless of who drives them...

Not to upset any listers here, but a stock 200  20v turbo quattro could never
beat an 88 M5 around a track.  I think even highly modified 200's would have
trouble keeping up with the Gen 1 cars, which are faster than 911's (upsets
many Pcar owners...)  The Gen 2 M5 was a bit more cushy, with not much more
kick (gained 12 hp, I believe.  Also gained about 500 pounds.  Not a good
combo..)
