To me it is quite impressive when it is nearly a .5 sec slower then a 500hp mighty M6 messaged by M performance division or faster then much more power full Mustang Shelby GT500 or when it puts great performance cars like RS4 and Z4 M coupe in its place all without an LSD.
50 3:10.0 BMW M6 LL3 11/06
51 3:10.5 BMW 335i COUPE LL2 8/07
52 3:10.6 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION SE LL2 2/11
53 3:10.8 AUDI S4 LL2 2/10
54 3:11.0 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500 LL2 11/06
55 3:11.0 AUDI RS4 LL3 8/07
56 3:11.7 BMW Z4 M COUPE LL2 8/07
I think if you are going to mention Lightning lap times to justify your point then be fair to the E92 platform and not cherry pick times that suit your argument. Just a suggestion for the old times sake so you can better defend F30 platform in future. 
You know I could not let you slide with that one. If you are going to come at N54 335i then you will have to do better then that.....lol...  |
A 2013 Mustang Shelby ran a 3:00 in the 2013 LL, just .7 seconds behind a 991S.
