That's the thing legend. These aren't M5's. These parts and cars don't have a gazillion dollars in R&D. It's impossible to build a car that's that compliant in every avenue. Impossible. If those are your goals, I'd save your money and buy a modern car. By the way, I'll give myself one hell of a chance against that M5 on the race track.

LOL....Frank,you got me. I've got so much insulation that it cruises pretty quiet even with the dumps. Second skin, heat wave pro, carpet with jute pading. I also have solid motor mounts and body mounts. I simply don't have the tunnel or hood clearance for engine movement.(Sombody, clears his throat, put half height body bushings in my car) The engine is internally balanced down to the clutch. QA1 end links out back. I tore those air ride bushings up in one autocross. A turn one power steering pump that doesn't work great at idle. I puked the stock pump in one Road Race event. More aggressive front pads that make noise intermittently. The other pads didn't make a peep but didn't have great cold performance or longevity under road racing conditions. Solid lifters in the engine. They are really just as quiet as the previous engine and the hydraulic cam. Maybe more so. I bought top shelf lifters, stud girdle, etc. That was the only way to make big power at high rpm reliably. These are the things I'm talking about. I'm guilty as charged. It's simply harder to make a car do two things well. My whole point was really to get in some of these guys heads before they lay out the money on what they think they want. More importantly, what they think the end result will be. It sure as hell won't be an M5 no matter how much money you spend.
