Roll - 160kmh: 1M ahead and pulling away slightly (2 car lead)
160 - 170kmh: 1m stops pulling away and the M3 starts to close the gap.
210 - 220kmh: M3 passes the 1M and pulls away......
No surprise there. I think those results are probably pretty accurate. For me the roll-160 klicks is more important. Even though I have had cars up to 160mph, it's just not useful to have that high end performance on a predominantly street car, I'll take the 0-110mph performance any day!
