The M5 is going to be down for a while. 

I may stop by with the Turbo.

He's partially Asian... Kidding, but idk what he's talking about by turning that car back to stockish look? Car looks pretty effin' stock to me aside from the wheels.

The front bumper looks a lot like the Euro bumper, but may be aftermarket.  He has aftermarket side skirts and a different rear lower valence as well.  Subtle, but not stock.

Great video, was about to post it myself.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, you definitely beat me when you pulled to the stop sign. Haha, love the cars man. I'd love to meet up sometime again!

Sounds good.  Is there a separate thread for the Madison meet you mentioned at 2Shores?  If not, details please...

Beautiful car, welcome!

Thanks!

Here are some combo shots of the NSX and Turbo:

Thought I'd fly the flag in the new member section.

I'm a long-time auto enthusiast with a particular affection (read affliction) for NSXs, early M-cars and Porsches.  I used to be quite active on a variety of car forums from 2003-2008, from nsxprime to bimmerforums and on and on.

Here are a few shots of the namesake M5.  I'll add photos of my other cars soon.

Is this the gentleman I meet at Cars and Coffee in Lake Mills, with the super loud NSX? (The dude, who wagered his car was louder then the straight piped E28?)  If so, You definitely beat me on the loudness, and that tone was ungodly orgasmic. We heard you for miles!

Guilty as charged...

I told you it was loud! 

Zing!

Looks like I've been outed on this forum before my very first post!
