i have driven them(through a parking lot lol) and yes they are garbage, i would take a new zo6 over it anyday, im sure they are fast and all, but they are too big for me and i dont like how they look. they are BIG and unsporty looking, sound like crap(they sound a bit better when you are under load, but i personally still dont like the sound).

Wait a second - I read an article saying that the M5 had a fully electronic valvetrain....
I still see camshafts there... What's with that?

Nope...still has those goddamn cams

VALVETRONIC and double VANOS so you have continually variable valve timing and lift with intelligence on all 4 cams
