Have they tested it for daily drive-ability? I know if I dropped over a quarter mil on a car and the engine blows up in 4 months, I would fuck some people up.

Some how those claims sound a little....well unbelievable. With the shape of an m5 (not really the most areodynamic car ever built) and 800hp doesn't seam like it could actually reach 240mph.

In comparison, the bugatti (i'm kinda drunk so I can't spell) only needs a little over 250hp to reach over 150mph but another 700 to get the extra 100mph.

And whats really funny is the claim that the 7 speed smg tranny handled the extra power no problem (no real claims on if they updated anything later in the drivetrain) because topgear blew a rear end, and I have read alot about the failure towards it.
