BMWs aren't about 0-100 mph times. Nevertheless, a Model S beat an M5 two out of three times in Automobile magazine's drag race.

The cars are about the same price. The M5 has better numbers on paper. In a real test 100% torque from a standstill makes a difference.

Ezra Dyer pits the Tesla Model S against the BMW M5 in a drag race during Automobile Magazine's 2013 Automobile of the Year testing.

Anyone with an M5 care to comment if they are using Launch Control properly?
