My mate was running 295 Yokohoma AD08Rs which are very sticky tyres. He did a 2nd gear launch at around 3k rpm to minimise wheel spin.
On launch, I would destroy him and then on 1st to 2nd gear shift, I would lurch forward on his m4. On 2nd to 3rd gear shift, I would lurch forward a little bit. Then during 3rd gear pull, he would pull on me hard. By the time we are around 130kmh, he would pull ahead of me.
On a roll race, he would demolish me as if I am reversing backwards on him. 
Nevertheless, a stage 2 M340i would destroy a equivalent stage 2 F8X until very high speeds that's when the F8X would reel it in. |
There was a video a while back of a E46 M3 CSL going up against a new e90 335i which pretty much walked it.
I predict this will be the same story. Slight feeling of being left behind to progress. I love the F80 waiting for G80 Comp.
