I've got CAI, exhaust, software, and underdrive pulleys on my e39 M5. It's pretty quick but it's still a 4000lb sedan. The Dinan S2 package which includes my mods plus headers, throttle bodies, velocity stacks can put down almost 400whp which is about as strong as we can go without forced induction. So I would say typically 996tt>e39 M5.

Appropriately so. Being a trauma surgeon, I have seen way to many young kids, teenagers killed due to stupid driving. Save the racing for the track.
