FWIW my previous job was as an art director for a BMW publication. When the E39 M5 was released, BMW AG sent out a press release because they ran an M5 ungoverned (speed and rpm) to a GPS verified 198mph. This was with stock everything else, only taking off the rpm and speed restrictions from the ECU.

05' mr vs. 04' porchse SUV turbo
within a week or so after i broke in my MR i kicked this trucks *** from 75mph to 135mph. Downshifted to 5th @ 75mph and he couldnt pass me. I noticed i was going 135 and let off. He ripped past me when i let off, i think he hit 155 or higher.
Also just blew away a new bmw 745 from a red light. The dude was pissssssssed. He wanted to fight just cuz he lost to a lil $40k 4 door 2.0. HAHA
GO EVO!

But I was slightly off about the gearing...
Evo MR: 2.91:1, 1.94:1, 1.43:1, 1.10:1, 0.87:1, 0.69:1 Final: 4.58:1
Evo VIII: 2.928:1, 1.95:1, 1.407:1, 1.031:1, 0.72:1 Final 4.53:1
So I guess 1-3 are pretty close for both cars, while 4-6 in the MR are closer together than 4,5 in the GSR.
Slight separation differences though. An M5 is still geared better for high speeds than an MR or a GSR, which is what I intended as my origional point.

Just get some 272's. I ran a modded Z06 from about 40 to 110 and won by like 1 foot. I was proud of my car considering it was on pump gas and stock turbo.
