What you really mean, I guess, is that if the 360 driver blows a shift, the M5 will win. No problem with that. Don't get me wrong, the M5 is a great 2 ton sports sedan. It's main "failing" as a SPORTS CAR is that BMW purposely engineered in significant understeer to keep a driver from gettng in over his head. A competently driven 360 or 996tt or Z8 will make short work of an M5. Other opinions or actual experience?
