Angry M3 v. M5

you need to look at the numbers:
M3
3415 lbs
333 hp
262 lb/ft torque
4.8 0-60
155 mph top speed

M5
4024 lbs
394 hp
368 lb/ft torque
4.8 0-60
155 top speed

the m5 is not a ton over the m3
the m5 has a more substancial amount of torque than the m3
both cars have pretty much the same speed stats

hennessey tried to improve the m5 engine-he made it slower (m5 engine is very advanced-used in z8)
m3 has i-6 compared to v-8

m5 is more spacious and more expensive-if you got it for free you got a better deal
m5 is motor trends favorite sedan
