I've owned 2 350z's, and my ex girlfriend had an Evo IX MR. Stock for stock, the Evo and 350z are pretty even. The Evo has a big turbo, and the power kicks in hard when it spools up. The crazy thing about the Evo is that it's easy and cheap to make BIG power. She had a meth kit, boost controller, and a full exhaust.... before she got her final tune it was putting down 480 at the wheels! Watch out.. that could be a wild card.

The M5 is a beast stock... if you want to run with him, plan on a few mods. Really... any one of those cars can make good power... it just depends on how much they want to spend.

Like the others said...keep it at the track. I know we all drive 'spiritedly' on the road... but organizing a street race can get people hurt, or land you in jail.
