The Lexus redlines at 7300, 480 HP for a split second before you shift gears. Wow really useful. The m3/4 has all that power where it Actually matters.

Its not how much power you make. Its where you make it and how you use it.

Actually max-power to weight is a very good predictor of how a car will accelerate. Of course we don't always shift the car at optimal RPM during daily driving so it's true that the rest of the power curve is still important.
Once we have the official numbers you are likely to see some technical analysis and further discussion.
