Pushing the grocery getter a bit. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Boy your car sure does have a Purdy mouth.

So I got a bit of a chance to test the max mph of my BMW 530i. After pushing the ZR-1 to the limit years ago you knew that wasn't going to take long right?

It did just a hair over 155mph. And it did it with superb handling. Very quiet to. And after driving this one for a few months I've been so impressed that from now on not only will there be a corvette in the line up! But there will be a BMW there also. And if you guys have never test drove a new M5/M6! It is a 560hp TT monster. My eyeballs felt like they were going to come out the back of my head it accelerated so hard. You can even set how much resistance you like in your steering wheel. Just a fantastic car. It's earned it's reputation.

The one I test drove Kevin was a 2013 with the sports package and executive package. Paddle shifters, Heads up display and gorgeous interior only $74K with 100K mile bumper to bumper full factory warranty. It had some serious growl to it. The TT were freaken huge. My wife said that it accelerated like my ZR-1. I said No baby! This thing smokes my ZR-1 "HARD"!
