Very cool, I was scratching my head a bit when I thought it was a 63, because even with a few mods it wouldn't be much faster than a stock M5, but hell losing to a stage 4 E55 is the only outcome with a stock M5 
I don't know your friend with the silver car but I am sure I will see him around at some point.
I will be sure to come looking for you with the vette
Vadar: My vette is brand new (its still being built at GM right now) and will be all black with grey stock wheels. The car is shipping straight from my dealer in NJ to Lingenfelter for a 620HP N/A Cam Kit which includes: --Lingenfelter Tune - Lingenfelter Intake w/ 4" MAF - 160 Degree Thermostat - Lingenfelter Custom Camshafts - Dual Valve Springs w/ Titanium Retainers - American Racing Headers w/ Race Catalytics - Corsa Mufflers (Quad 4" Tips) - Lingenfelter Floor Mats. Guys with STOCK Z06's on drag radials are running 10.8-10.9 so I have to figure with over 115HP more the car is a mid 10 sec. car (10.6 maybe?). I thought about going to supercharger route, but I have had many forced induction cars and I would like to try an N/A Cam kit for once (I have always wanted that loopy idle).
Regards,
Evan
PS- For whoever asked, no I do not still have my Turbo or the Gallardo!! The Turbo was traded for the Gallardo SE and I traded the Gallardo SE for the M5 Here are a few pics of both for ya guys

Those are some pretty good numbers for a Renn Stage 1. My Stage 5 just dyno'd 484/542 rhp at dynojet here in Vegas. Using a rhp to bhp conversion of 1.23, I would be at 595 bhp, only 35 more than your stage 1. Either your dyno figures are off or I paid way too much for 35 horse power.

Rudyrono,
yes, was surprised too. can search thread here for "e55 dyno today renntech-1 install"...this has my pre/post mod runs on dynojet at dynosport racing (dynograph/data posted).
pre-mod max hp-416.3 rw & max tq rw-447.9 (so was a healthy 512 hp & 550tq at crank)
post-mod max hp-453.3 rw & max tq rw-492.3 (so w/ 23% dt loss=557.5 hp & 605.5 tq at crank).
trying to decide if should do headers & ic pump...but think 55 strong as is; if do stage 3 (headers) and add ic (just for cooling)...probbaly adds 25/25 rw & 30/30 at crank. my post mod runs were hot w/ stage 1, so cold runs may have boosted numbers a bit.
have a good wknd and happy new year to you.

The SMG M5 is much quicker than the stick, some numbers putting it up as much as .5 sec, also, the '63 and the M are putting down almost identical numbers, interesting, as the E63 is putting down almost identical numbers to the 55 as well. Any one of the three (SMG M5) could run to 60 in 4.2, but the twisties argument seems no longer valid, as C/D (was it them ?
) just ran S6 vs. M5 stick vs. E63, and they said the E handeled amazing, best handeling AMG car yet. Sorry for the length, just my $0.02. AMG ETR, you got some sick rides there.
