Nevertheless I have been challenged by a 911 Turbo S 991.1 in the road and we were pretty even. They pull about the same from speeds in excess of 100 all the way to 300+. Have also played with my mate's E63 S and we were pretty even too (the M5 non Comp is a tad bit faster from 100-200 but over 200 I would say they pull the same). I have also been challenged by a Pam Turbo (previous gen), which I smoked easily and have also beaten a W204 C63 Weistec Stage 2 easily.
My most fun race was with a Ferrari 458. I smoked it several times in the highway, but the Fezza's noise is just so beautiful. The owner couldn't believe an Exec saloon had just beaten his car. He was later asking if it was tuned or had any mods lol.

I have a 2017 RS7 performance, its easy to launch but unless his was modified, you are faster. I think it just came down to the launch and nothing more. My M5 is on order, have had a bit of seat time in my buddy's M5 and I assure you the M5 is faster if launched correctly.
