The TL has 270 HP stock, G35 270+ stock. I say the generation after the next will be close to 400 HP. Eventually become to 500 HP.

One of each would make for a nice well-rounded collection.

If you call 75HP close

I guess, but not close enough. The F430 is close at 483.

and every damn civic in my town with 10000 stickers on it.
But seriously: I think in a couple or 3 years when they re-do the E-class Benz. The E55 AMG will be in this league. It's at 469 now. it will be the only German V-8 with 500 ponies.
BTW: I seen a right up on the BMW M5 V-10 it might give the E55 AMG a run for the money. I forget what car magazine they did a comparasion . after a cool comparasion they finally said they were pretty even and it's the buyer's pick

Even more importantly, your BMW M5 will most likely actually run for a while. The styling isn't bad on the new mercedes but I can't believe people are still buying them. If you pay over $100K for a car it shouldn't be going back to the delaer under the lemon law, but it seems to happen to the high end mercedes now (which sucks, since the old turbo diesels are built like tanks and run forever).
