Did it feel much faster than the M3?

I've driven both back to back at the track and I'd say the M5 feels substantially faster once you are going above 40 mph or so. The difference above 100 mph is even more noticeable. Though the M5 weighs quite a bit more for some reason 100 more HP really makes a difference particularly at speed.
Gas milage is different too, on the track M5 was averaging a bit more than 6 mpg and the M3 was doing about 8.5 mpg.
