I was thinking a Z with similar mods as mine would be pretty close to the M5 since it has a weight advantage and would be pretty close to 394 hp (not whp of course)

But im really just speculating. Anyone know from experience?

I'm asking because I've always liked them and they are pretty cheap now

I would think with your mods that your HP numbers are rather low, but I could be wrong.
M5's are top end monsters, but also have a lot of low end torque.
Footnote: If you can keep up with a e92 M3, SRT8, SS or ISF then you'll be able to run with a e39 M5. I've beat these M5's in my Tuned/CAI SRT8 before, but to be fair I've also annihilated Z's as well.
I wanna run both my cars against each other, but don't trust anyone enough to drive either of them, but I'm sure my SRT8 would run circles around my lightly modded Nismo.
