if so, why would the m5 pull at higher speeds? especially considering the S-AMG will have 585 hp.

There is only one way to tell......Video.

If I were a betting man I would put my money on the AMG. Why? Because of the fact that there is more power being applied to the road surface in a more efficient manner(4wd), less wheelspin , etc.

I understand that most on this board don't care to hear that, but let's try to be subjective for a moment and call a spade a spade.

I am going from a C63 to a 2014 M5 in about 2 weeks, not because it's quicker than the E63, but because I find the M5 more attractive and I prefer the DCT.
