And no the margin between the F82 and E92 will certainly not be as large as the margin between the E46 and E92. It just takes "exponentially" more power to squeak out the same sized performance gains. Thus the M4 will still in my proper view of the word decimate the E92 M3, but certainly by less than that between the prior generation.

BTW how long is a car length?
And remember that going 150 MPH you are travelling at roughly 66 m/s. So a 1 sec distance at 150 MPH is 66 meters!
