Not sure how they managed to be this horrendously slow 0-100 km/h and 1/4 mile with these cars. Pretty sure both are faster than this in RWD-only...but here are the videos nevertheless...enjoy!

4th Place: AMG E63 S

5th Place: F90 M5

4.4 sec and 4.1 sec? Are you sure they didn't test the E43 and M550 by mistake?

All the times were slow. However what's most strange to me is that the 0-100 in quicker than the E63s. Yet the quarter mile trap speed is significantly slower in the M5 as well as the lap time. This is inconsistent with every other test done - I suspect something wasn't quite right with this car.

The Lexus LC 500 is a great "drivers" car...said no one ever...

Miata at #10 for a drivers car Comp? Miata is a far better drivers car than almost everything on the list. Odd ordering to say the least.

More from their driver's car testing, this is the video for their straight-line shootout
