2014+ E63 S AMG vs M5 w/Performance Pkg

I believe this extensive unbiased review will resolve the rather juvenile debate that has taken place here in the W212 forum on another thread:

2016 E63 S AMG
Frankly, I'm not sure what is left to be said about the comparison between the two cars. The bone stock E63 S is superior in HP, torque, 0-60, 1/4 mile, handling, and road feel. The M5 has a subjectively better transmission and can do donuts in parking lots.

Tuned and/or modified cars are irrelevant to any comparison discussions. There are simply too many variables, permutations, and hidden or undisclosed modifications.

The M5 is faster.

The M5 is a big, ugly, outdated ****box. Like my M6, but 2 more doors.
