My buddies stock 13 GT500 does the 1/4 mile in 11.5 sec @ 125 mph. Very good driver.

I would say even with an intermediate driver that the GT500 is a faster track car (having shared the track with one earlier this year while in my M5).
The M5 was not able to pull on the GT500. Too much weight advantage and too much power. Would I trade my M5 for one? No: the Ford is two doors, in my opinion only two truly usable seats, and not as luxurious.
That being said, the only thing that slowed the driver of the GT500 down that weekend was when he went a little too deep into a corner and tested the runoff patch enough to make him do a quick gut check and slow down. But, that could have been any of us.
