    are there any cars that can match up?

    Are there any american cars that can go engine size for engine size and still come out on top ?

    example: Say the BMW M5 engine = 4941 cc / 301.5 cu in
    Top Speed = 249.4 kph / 155.0 mph (limited)
    0 - 60 mph = 4.8 seconds

    unlimited it does 320kph thats without mods still standard just take the limiter off.

    and this is just saloon 4 door family car.

    can a silly goose american car beat that (normally aspirated)?

    and please we are talkig about engine size!!!!!

    You cant compare cars purely on engine size. You have to take into account weight among other things as well as comparative cost. Otherwise compare all 2lt 4 cylinder cars. One car will win on outright speed, one on acceleration, one on handling etc. If your tyring to point out that the BMW M5 is a great car we know already.

    Your lack of experience is showing. You assume that displacement = engine SIZE. Sorry, size is based on more than just displacement. Considering America doesn't really build anything to compete with the M5, you're going to have a hard time finding anything to beat it. Same could be said for the Corvette, there's just about nothing that performs as well for the price. Don't spread your igorance through here, I thought this place was supposed to be better than supercars.net.

    I got a car that will kick that M5's ass, 2003 Mustang Cobra, nuttin but 280 cubic inches of raw American power. 0-60 in 4.3, 1/4 mile in 12.7, top speed of 170 miles per hour. If i do recall dats faster than that pile of shit M5, and its a smaller engine cubic inch wise, and and, its cheaper!So dont give me dat shit bout American cars not being able to compete.

    Dont tell me dat

    You dont have to tell me its a bad comparison i know, its retard up therre ^ who said to compare "engine size to engine size" and thats a pretty good comparison talkin engine size, 280ci to 300ci. I know dats not how cars should be compared but if dats how he wants it, aight, theres something with a smaller engine size wise and will still stomp its ass.

    You can't compare a sedan to a sports coupe.

    Might as well compare the E55 AMG to your Cobra.

    0-60mph in 4.3sec
    1/4 in 12.5 sec

    But even when you compare the Cobra to a sportscoupe like for example an 911 turbo or a GT2 it's still bullshit. The porsche will beat the cobra, but it also costs a lott more.
