I have no personal experience with the M5 in particular.

Some cars are just so smooooooth, the speed can be decieving.

Good man. I knew I could count on you.
I feel the same. That it's not worth the risk.... The place for that kind of thing is in a controlled environment (track). .

Thanks Collin =)
That's why I am looking forward to more track fun for next summer...

Anyhow, I have decided that I will be the white mice and give the Braille 15lbs all season battery a shot. Will report back once I recieve it and have it installed!
