Bad M5 driver struggling with a tuned Aston Martin DBS

Bad M5 driver struggling with a tuned Aston Martin DBS. Given that the driver doesn't know what S3/MDM/DSC OFF and "M" button is about, this stock M5 F10 still managed to pull from the tuned Aston Martin DBS. Such people are better off buying AMGs or 550i xDrive in my humble opinion.

True, but participating in renowned drag race events isn't the best place to start learning basics of this car.

all well and good BUT he was still able to beat a V-12 "supercar" with at least an exhaust maybe more??

He's in Auto Mode D ///. Wonder if things would have been different in Manual ///.

At 00:29 he tries manual mode and does very poorly, starting 00:49 he uses D

When he uses LC he pulls really hard on him!

Was the mic on with the video from inside the M5? The only thing you could hear was the Aston..
I would have expected the Aston to get raped, guess the low weight (-250kg) helped

I wonder how this video would have gone had the M5 driver had more experience with the tranny and it's different settings.

Should have his M-Funf revoked

From a few of their videos it looks like organized roll-on races on an empty or closed highway. If so, then definitely better than being limited to driving your M5 as 'a regular 5 series' for 360 days a year, and a few days of taking it to a track to justify the price difference.

Then again, as long as it is safe!
