996 450 vs M5 which wins?

[rob05]

A couple of friends of mine have these cars and today day we were discussing the usual topic of which one will be quickest 0-top speed obviously they could'nt agree.
The M5 is standard but with the limiter in place,the turbo has the factory kit.
Before they eventually lock horns just thought i'd see what the forum thought.

Its an E60 and rather nice,light blue colour,he says its standard but the wheels dont look stock nor does the quad exhaust.
Really just wanted to hear what you lads thought,as i have'nt read any tests or seen any lap time data regarding the two cars side by side.
I'm quite sure someone on here will have them,also this forum turns over rather quicker than what i'm used to at the moment,hence the reason i posted here.
Ps clubsport i have had a look but i cant find it,maybe its because i dont know what i'm looking for?

Gary have you driven one?
I can tell you that the car is mental!My M3 would have killed my old C2 never mind the M5,but as far as the turbo goes having driven both it would be to close to call for me anyway.

Thats more jjr1 type of gamble? i'm just an interested 3rd party.
If anyone does have any figures please post them,maybe they can settle it without killing themselves or anyone one else!
