I won't be excited until these aren't NA anymore.

Whats wrong with NA?? Having solid power without Forced Induction is great. There is no replacement for displacement. Turbo and SC cars normally have smaller engines.

If you're building a dedicated car to compete in a NA class, or if you don't care one bit about bad gas mileage, then NA is great. Now if you have a dual purpose car (daily driven and track on weekends) or are in a class that allows NA and FI, then FI will win most of the time. Power:weight on FI's are better, and for street driven use, get a lot better mpg's at high hp levels.

Edit: I'm not hating on the M5 (I understand the evolution of the M series), but I think it would be a great move if they'd act on the talks of changing the complete M line to FI.

I'm not competing in anything except taking my car to work, and going to dinner. I enjoy smoking a few cars on the way . I'm not into modding cars anymore. I drove my Mustang GT to work today andtrashed my clutch. I hate modded cars. I like a fast ass car from the dealership. That's why I love these cars.

Yes. There's just that $100k price tag. Just paid $75k for the X5. Dont think I can swing this one quite yet. The wife would make me sell the Mustang as well.
