It is faster than a M5 in a straight line, but according to Top Gear it has the worst chassis of any car they had ever driven. It has such catastrophic understeer that if you are full on the gas you can literally turn the front wheels enough, and so ineffectively, that they will actually smoke instead of turning the car. |
Actually, the new G8 is 2 tenths slower than the 5 series competitor (not M5) in the quarter. While still fast the regular G8 runs very low 14's stock. Now the G8 GXP is going to be a completely different animal and will compete against the M5. I don't think everybody in this thread is talking about the GXP though, and not sure if they are even out yet.
