So if the SLR really can stop in 400 feet from 120MPH and assuming the M5 can do about the same, I'd guess it would take about 900 or 1,000 feet to stop from 150MPH. To be honest though, at that speed, I really don't see how that's possible. The fastest I took my car was up to 140MPH and it felt like if I had to stop I would have made it to Mexico before I got to 0MPH.
M5 can't do the same. The SLR is just a mass of technology along with that rear wing in the back.

Anyway back onto topic.

The impact that the neighbors felt is amazing. It's just like wow. I'm speechless.
