Its not really the 1/4 time thats important, its the trap speed. And trap speed gives a good indication of where a car also stands from a roll. Of course traction and a few other things play a part. But I would say the E92 would have to be trapping somewhere around 120-121mph by the way it pulled on the M4. And thats if the M4 was in fact being driven correctly and have good traction. And I'm not sure how many E92 M3s can trap 121 with bolt ons and a tune.
