    But they're going to have stupidly hard suspension and be so uncomfortable compared to a conti GT/M5. Would think about DB9 too

    Nah Maranello 550 (i think) was driven round china, so I highly doubt it had really hard suspension, as the roads out there are carp to say the least. The 550/575 would be so much nicer. and theyre not limited to 155...

    PLus its a ferrari, everyone and their grandad has a 5 series, they really arent that rare, no one takes any notice, theres a guy round here with a black 550, and everytime he passes me i have to stare, they are truly beautiful cars.

    Think its a pair of 612's they are running round china. Slightly lifted suspension and some protection underneath for some of the roads, but apart from that as they were intended.

    Lambo

    0 - 100 mph 8.6 seconds


    M5
    0-60 mph: 4.5 sec
    0-100 mph: 10.0 sec

    Let me add some top speed figures to that

    Bentley - 198
    Lambo - 200
    BMW - 205

    I'd say that makes the BMW faster in a straight line. And you're saying a murchielago is more comfortable than a BMW 5 series? Think not!

    So basically you're just as wrong as i am

    lambos top book speed is 205 not 200 and that was in 2002 and the later cars are quicker than that (without the extra Bhp) so dude if you gonna comment on a subject that ya obviously know naff all about www.google.com will help ya out
