IF they did, it would be obvious, as the 7s are putting down what, 180? And THAT'S being optimistic. No way they could even SEE the bimmers after 4 laps if the bimmers were putting down 238!

Well, that's the talk around my town. I really don't know for sure.

At the same time, the same talk is of Spec Miatas (Showroom stock engine rules) with over 120hp at the wheels. I know those numbers are real so who am I to doubt the BMW numbers?
Just take it as a rumor, I guess.
