That is a great article, its sitting in my room right now. As much as I believe that there are plenty of tracks where the M3 will be hitting 130, which it certainly does at willow springs. They did have pro's driving these cars at the tracks and I think the one with the M3 hitting 148 is an oval with major banking. Not that I wouldn't track my car there, but I think banked ovals are in the minority for track days. On the flipside, the lower Vmax scores are from a coned auto-x event. Auto-x events are notorious for being extremely tight courses and having low speeds, due to area confinements. I still think that the majority of road courses would let a 400hp car hit well over 100mph.
