In the post you replied to, we settled that a 1sec difference between the E46 and the E92 on the 0-1000m is probably a good ballpark figure. And that 1 sec is significant because it equates to "about" 66m. |
Again, I responded to the 0-130 and 0-150mph data and NOT the 0-1000m for a reason.

Further, as I mentioned in my previous post, since the first car is still accelerating, the distance will likely be more than 67m.

But this is where you guys lose me. You are both assuming equal velocity on both cars throughout the run and taking a snapshot at 1000m and that is just incorrect. The E92 M3 has ~19-20 car legnths on the E46 150 mph with a 0-150 run. I don't have any PCA software here at work but maybe Swamp can calculate the distance for the 0-1000m?
I have no doubt the F82 is going to be a beast. I still stand by my original point, that the F car will not see the huge leap in preformance 0-150mph that the E92 did with the E46. Having owned a 1M, I can imagine how the F82 "in gear" performance will be light years over the E92. So it will be less critical for the F car to be in the correct gear. The E92 has been one of the greatest over achievers recently given it's power compared to other cars. The combination of gearing and engine characteristics has enabled it to keep up with cars that have better power to weight ratios.
