You can find a Civic besting a Ferrari I bet on youtube.... Although not perfect and unable to match a wide spectrum of results with just a single result, simulation provides the most apples to apples comparison possible. 20 car lengths to 150 mph, as well as any other metric chosen from the simulations shows a serious beat down by the E92 M3, completely consistent with known power to weight ratios.
The E46 24,5 sec 0-1000m MT 6 time was from the Geneva BMW press info. How much faster is the E9x with MT 6 according to official spec?

And how many races are won on the PC with software simulation? Do you really tell people after a close race that "on my simulation programme my car beat yours by a much larger margin". I agree that races have variables such as driver etc. But just a quick search on YouTube came up with the videos I posted. Strange that in every video the driver "problems" was in the E9x cars???

Yes, the E9x is faster, we all agree on that. But by how much?
