If this is what you want to believe, I will not even try to argue with you .

You can find a Civic besting a Ferrari I bet on youtube.... Although not perfect and unable to match a wide spectrum of results with just a single result, simulation provides the most apples to apples comparison possible. 20 car lengths to 150 mph, as well as any other metric chosen from the simulations shows a serious beat down by the E92 M3, completely consistent with known power to weight ratios.
Here is the official press release for the E46 M3 CSL, stating a 0-1000m time of 23,5 sec (page 19):

In this Autocar review the std E46 M3 is listed as having a 24,2 sec 0-1000m time:

Please show me that the E9x is substantially quicker than what I have posted previously and that the difference between the E9x vs E46 was substantially larger than the difference between F8x vs E9x is.
