Not to argue with you either but IMO that's impossible(or very very very unlikely), 113mph with a stock manual E9x is far from what we see everywhere, not like the 110mph from the 1M that's been replicated at more then one place.

As for the aero on the 1M, maybe it's bad, but it's clearly the engine that runs out of breath the real problem. I did a lot of second gear pulls against my friend on the highway and it was always the same thing, dead even up to end of my third where I start to go kind of easily and then shift in fourth and simply go like it was nothing. The aero would'nt play that big of a role at around ~150-200km/h, again IMO!
