Vivid Racing's Project F10 M5

vividracing · 09-10-2012, 12:41 PM

Ours showed up last week. We went with Alpine White with Sakhir Orange, Piano Black trim, and Anthracite Alcantara Headliner. Drivers Assistant Package and Executive Package.
Pre-Delivery Pics from the dealer.

And here it is all cleaned up when we took possession of it.

Of course, we had to stack it up against the competition.

After a few days of ooooing and awwweeeing over the car, we decided we need to get rolling on this.
First, we had some paint protection installed by way of a clear bra.

With that out of the way, we put the car on the dyno so we can get some baseline numbers. We will be developing downpipes, an intake, and maybe some other goodies in the future.

Our numbers came up to 490hp on our Mustang Dyno.

Next up, is the installation of some H&R springs.

wondering what wheels you are putting on ? HRE ?

IND is putting on BBS FI.

We are going to go with the Velos tune as soon as it is ready. They have some preliminary figures out right now up over the 70 hp mark.

Awesome color combination and specs. Curious, did you have to pay the full premium charge for individual pkg in order to get the roof and piano blk trim? Looking forward to see how much of a difference springs play in the overall look and handling of the car vs coilovers. Pics!

Obviously true. What is it about the white exterior that makes it so popular? Seems an odd choice (to me) for such a large sporty car.

My last car was white and it definitely turned heads. I also thought about getting my M6 in white, but i just got tired of the work of keeping my other car clean so I opted for a more deceptively plain color. The good thing with white is that you can go alot of routes with add on color accents if thats your thing.

BMW suggests Steve Jobs and the iPod/iPhone/iPad made white the "I have to have it" color; particularly in America.

What an oddly written article...white supremacy?? Thanks CNET for at least taking a swag at answering my question though

I thought white was the most popular car color for many years prior to the iPod. Was just surprised that it would be so common on a supercar. That said I ordered a silver one (albeit a complex silver), so what am I babbling on about?
