Coles Notes for those too lazy to read
M5 vs. Lamborghini Gallardo
"The Verdict: The performance of these cars is very similar. The Gallardo might have an edge from lower speeds thanks to 4WD which offers better grip but the higher the speeds get the more advantage the M5 has. "
M5 vs. E55 AMG Kompressor and the 2004 E55 AMG Estate Kompressor
"Here we were four people in the M5 versus the E55 AMG Estate. The M5 was faster than the Mercedes, especially in higher speeds where the M5´s seven speed gearbox have an significant advantage due to gearing.
We did several runs against the two the E55 AMG´s and there was no question about who got first at the end of the stretch: the M5."
M5 vs. 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo with S-engine package
"he was slightly faster off the line but I passed him at every race somewhere between 200 and 240 km/h. We raced three times from a rolling start."
There's more on the webpage. There even is a tour of the Koenigsegg factory. Brilliant article.
