Just for comparison...
Vette: 3444 lbs / 460 hp = 7.49 lbs/hp
M4: 3306 lbs / 430 = 7.69 lbs/hp

The best time I've seen recorded for the C7 Vette is 3.7 seconds to 60. The M4 has more weight to horsepower. But also note that, IRL, some are reporting the 1/4 for the vette running 11.4 @ 119 mph, and 11.5 @ 120, which are pretty respectable.


Cheers.
We also need into consideration that the S55 is most likely underrated at 430ps. On the other hand, I doubt we will see many cars at 3306lbs...
Agreed, but if it's even POSSIBLE to spec a 3306 lb M3/M4, it will be a huge victory. I'm cautiously pessimistic (my heart can't take anticipating a 3306 lb vehicle and receiving a 3506 lb vehicle).

As a side note, thinking about the area under torque vs RPM curve is still eating away at me. If we integrate force vs time, do we get work?? Do we need to integrate twice with respect to time in order to find power???
