E63 AMG--if you mean straight-line performance.
Torque is the main advantage of the E63 AMG vs the M5.

The E no doubt!!!
But i'd feel more comfy driving the M5 FAST than the Mercedes.

A straight line head to head would be fairly close, as it's known that the M5 stoxk 0-60 is closer to 4.5 in the real world, however i truly believe that the M5 would have the edge in real world day to day driving, rapid cross country & on the track as i feel the M5's chassis will still be more accomplished that the AMG, as will the suspension & brakes.
AMG's are renowned for straight line but one they deviate from that game, they get into an awful mess.
That said an article in this weeks AutoExpress made reference to a Brabus Monster (seriously that's what it's called) & it's a fully blown bi-turbo 63 with 715BHP & over 1000nm, capable of hitting 60 in 4 seconds dead & limited to 215MPH. Now that would be a proper monster.
