Default M5 versus Shelby GT500

2006 BMW M5 (5 liter V10 7 speed with 500 horsepower & 383 torque)
versus 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 ( 5.4 liter V8 6 speed with 500 horsepower
& 480 torque). I am not a mechanic and don't know exactly what torque
is but I heard that if a car has more torque, it has more power. If I
am right, does that mean Ford Shelby can out run M5 from zero to sixty
and high speed?. Also M5 costs almost twice as much than Shelby GT500
so seems Shelby is a better value. Am I right? Is there other side to
this that I am ignorant about? Enlighten me please if I am.
