I actually think the Demon makes the case that the M5 is making more power than advertised, unless BMW is really stating 600hp at the wheels when they quote 600hp.
Lol, how do you figure more grip?

AWD has a significantly greater advantage.

Also you have to remember the peak power points of supercharged vs. turbo charged. Very different on how the power comes on and is sustained, with the advantage ALWAYS going to the turbo charged car traditionally having the ability to make and sustain torque better especially on the top end.

I wish the numbers pointed to your 600rwhp, but no matter how you run the numbers it falls short at around 510-540hp at the rears. Not bad numbers at all though!
