I do suspect though that in hands of professionals the F8X will cream the E9X as much as the E9X cream the E46 around the ring with ~20s difference.
Agreed, and this is reflected at the 0-1000m distance where the speed is 222km/h and 228km/h respectively (139 MPH vs 143 MPH). Where the E46 still has 11 MPH to Reach 150 MPH, the E9x only has 7 MPH. And the E9x should be a b it quicker getting there, whereas the E46 struggles more and more as the speed rises.
