Default AutoCar Battle: BMW M5 vs. Vauxhall VXR8(GTS)

Makes the GTS seem two generations behind the BMW M5.That stoneage 6.2L V8 that virtually everyone raves about,is just no match for the superior 4.4L V8 of the M5.
Although the "test" was quite silly it was interesting what the reviewer had to say about the GTS and I agreed with his view that in isolation,the GTS is a very good car.
There is also a straight line comparision at the end.In all fairness, the GTS was a manual however I doubt that an automatic would've made a significant difference.
The BMW is surprise,surprise much more expensive,has more torque but is heavier than the GTS.
