Not entirely true, the M5 out weighs the Ferrari by 1000lbs, that is ALOT of weight, think about the the power to weight ratio, 100 hp is not that much to move an extra 1000 lbs. The M5 is just one of the baddest cars EVER built. I love Ferrari, but credit must be given where crdit is due. 4 door sedan spanked a 2 door super car. But you are right the Ferrari does look sportier.
