Agreed for the most part i think the F90 should edge out the acceleration portion since its 300 hundred pounds lighter. I remember the old rule of thumb that 100 pounds is worth around .1 in the quarter mile. In an unplanned street race not using launch control id think the m5 would have a clear advantage since torque converters are better for just stomp and go launches.
I guess they wont go down without a fight which is smart considering the CP M5 will beat the e63s easily. Now I wonder if BMW will counter the E63R with an M5 CS
