I bet that thing will be quite a track car, just like the last one. Is that the old 394 hp M5 v8 in there?

I could have sworn it's the New M5's V10 minus 2 cylinders... (500HP-100)
I can't find a good link though...

Pretty much. It's a sub-400+hp 4.0L v8. I like.

The more I look at the new BMW's the more I dislike them. Almost every single car in there line up is getting huge. It's just two much bling for me. The new 7 serious are like ants over here.

yawn--and people say GTOs looking boring. This takes the cake. I'll take a GTO instead.

We seem to be getting more and more geneorus with the Pony car term. I doubt the owners of these cars will refer to them as such.
