Thanks alot for the article.

The acceleration times for the F430 were slow,as MG has already stated above,in fact they were very slow and no doubt that seven speeder in the M5 helps it alot. As much as I love the M5 for what it is,its never going to magically hide 500 kg's in the twisties nor out accelerate the 430 to 150mph.According to Autocar,it will than out accelerate the Gallardo and the GT2.

I remember here in SA,they were advertising the old M5 as a supercar eater.I'm still waiting for one to blow by a 360 or a 911 turbo.

It's a good story,an extremely one sided one, thats going to fuel up all the irritating little magazine racers and BMW brigade.GREAT!!!!
