The exhaust alone gives 20 - 25 wheel HP from what I have seen. Then there are the stroker and supercharger option, which might be pricey, but still make it very fast.

Not close to your GT500, but still a far cry from 10 - 15 wheel HP.
40-60 wheel hp, if correct, make the stroker look like a big waste of money since the Dinan stroker is said to have 520 hp at the crank. What are the trap speeds on cars with full bolt ons? What about the stroker?

Both of these cars are very different, one being a muscle car, the other being a more luxurious GT car. Take your pick. I have a friend who's got a GT500. He's more of a straight line power guy, but Id take the M3 due to the crisper handling.
