Drag racing appeared in the US as far back as the 1950s so it’s obvious that this ‘sport’ is still pretty much the most popular choice for any real gearhead out there.
A lot of drag strips opened across the US over the years and a lot more people raced on them to make sure the guy that dared to frown at a red light was thought a lesson.
This time we’re looking at a stock BMW E60 M5 racing a Porsche 997 911 Carrera. The Bimmer has a 5-liter V10 engine that makes 500 HP and 520 Nm (384 lb-ft) of torque from 7,750 RPM, going all the way up to a redline of 8,250 RPM.
The Porsche, on the other hand, has a 3.6-liter boxer engine that makes 345 HP and 390 Nm (288 lb-ft) of torque at its disposal. Both drivers are rookies and just driving for fun so their mistakes are understandable. Check them out!
