Evo FQ400 vs M5

[@wall]

the other thing with the evo for me is that all the performance stats i have seen so far are crap...

as stated on ucp 0-62 in 3.5 seconds, please absolute rubbish. that is zonda performance (yes i know it is possible in an evo but i will believe it when i hear of some independent official tests...)

now aside from that i would have to say i think the evo would be a much more entertaining drive simply as it is lighter and has an insanely advanced FWD system. however i could not go past the refinement of the BMW and joy to hear of the BMW with its high revving V10...

I think there should be an age restriction on UCP...some of the kids round here talk a lot of nonsense...
firstly...
1)monster in terms of performance
2)in terms of feature yes but both are performance cars bought solely for their performance
3)you must be kidding right?
4)most cars are really overpriced..so therefore the Evo should be better value in terms of bang for your bucks....
I drive a BMW..and I love it a lot...but if i can just afford to get me the Audi that I want .....

Age restriction? I'm most surely older than you so behave, ok?. And you're the one who don't really get the car things right otherwise you wouldn't be comparing such different cars.

M5 is a comfort car for people who like to cruise in style and the Evo is for the hard going street racer who like to go fast in the car. but personally i would go for the BMW M5

I believe Car magazine tested a Evo FQ400 against the Zonda, with the Evo being marginally quicker in a straight line.

[Niko_Fx]

depends what u want . a super fast car . aka M5 . or a rally car on the road . the Lancer .. or both

This one is a special EVO, it's faster than a Pagani Zonda doing 0-60 and 1/4 mile.

I would take the EVO, I'm not a fan of big luxurious cars. But I tell you what, I'd take the M3 over the EVO if it comes with an M5 engine

[Rockefella]

This is extremely tough, considering these are 2 of my top 10 favorite cars... I'll go with the M5. The Evo has reliability problems and according to Motor Trend, I believe, said is a pain in the arse to drive. I guess I'll take the Bimmer, for comfort/style/speed.

[Cotterik]

What sort of question is that!? EVO anyday! End of thread..now where was I..

[Benz_Boy_1]

Evo, for styling, pace, i dunno, i jkust hate the M5... and i love the Evo...

[dimlight]

EVO super fast car excellent handling... good to turn heads, rough ride.

M5.. european, comfortable, fast and technological.


M5 for me please.

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

connot agree with nr.3

Agreed. Arrogance, McReis... BMWs are not always better than anything.

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Oh, and I'll take the Evo. I will already have an RS6 as my luxury über-car

Evo vs Zonda

[car_fiend]

i'd take the evo, its got limited production, so it'd be very rare in short time, and i hate the bmw design on the most of the 5 or higher series cars.

[BMW325]

for those who are saying that this is a stupid comparison...
the FQ400 is the fastest rally-style sedan
the M5 is the most hardcore super-sedan
so its just the best vs the best...simple as that
of course these are very different cars...thats the point

[KnifeEdge_2K1]

The Evo needs engine rebuilds every 4000 miles or something.

The M5 can be derestricted for a nominal fee.

The Evo might be quicker, but I should imagine that it would be a nightmare to live with.

1, thats a recomendation as to not void warentee since people who buy these cars WILL drive the wheels off them

2, ... are you kidding?

3, and seven gears isnt, i get pissed enuff with a 5 speed
