That's what we strive for but cannot achieve. I'm in the automotive industry, and is a supplier to BMW. Parts in testing even made in the same batch will have variances in performance, and some by quite a bit.

Two autobild test on the M6 coupe. One test was in 2014 on the 575HP M6 CP it ran 0-300km in the 30 second range while in 2016 the 600HP M6 CP ran 35 seconds plus. Sure it wasn't tested on the same day but 5 seconds differences? And the 600HP was actually the slower one?

I do not believe differences are negligible, there bound to be some cars that are faster or slower.
