smoked a new M5 today
Not sure what power they put out, it looked brand new. We ran twice, even at a light both times. The first one I was entirely sure if he was going to go, so I let out easy, gave it a little gas and he responded, so I hammered it. After getting traction in 2nd gear I pulled on him hard, had about 7-8 cars up to about 130. Stopped at the next light gave each other the thumbs up. The second run I spun pretty hard, but once I caught traction I had about the same result, thumbs up again and we went on our way.

yes, I have stock 3:42's and an M6. I ran a 12.1 with 400rw, and now have 54 more whp, so I can see why I pulled on the M5. They are advertised at 500hp and 383tq, which is about 420/320ish wheel power, so this combined with the 4000lb weight, makes sense. They are great cars, I would love to have one, but for 90k, hmmmm.. I dunno..

$90k - it's all relative, right? If you can afford it, would you really want a $42k SRT-8?
