Yeah... bad news, I don't think there will be any vids. It all ended with a helicopter... If I don't get a notice to appear in court in the mail soon, then I might be able to dig something up 
There was no racing though, just some nice pulls with both of us in one car at a time... except for one time. The boss is clearly faster than the M5, but the M5 feels faster. I think the comparison would be similar to how people describe driving the E9x M3 vs the E39 M5. The M5 feels faster, but is the same or a little slower than the E9x. Torque is a magical thing! Not that the boss lacks torque, but it doesn't develop it in the same way as the M5.
