Not the huge difference you are trying to portray.
Sorry foot, you are again the one who is wrong. Thus I suggest you go easy with the huge bold font. It makes you look even worse and less credible.

The GT-R shows a much wider variation in trap speeds than the M3 even throwing out min and max values. Not sure how many times you have to be confronted with the data to accept it.

Variation on dragtimes.com:

Stock GT-R: 114-124 mph, 10 mph variation (note almost identical to the range found by magazines below)
E9X M3: 111-115 mph, 4 mph variation
m3post.com database, E9X M3: 111-115 mph

Trap speeds GT-R:

Car and Driver: 111 mph
Car and Driver: 115 mph
Edmunds: 115
Road and Track: 116 mph
Motortrend: 120 mph
DP Cars: 121 mph
Car and Driver: 124 mph
Jalopnik: 125 mph

Variation: 14 mph
Variation (excluding high&low): 9 mph

Heck you are only wrong here by a factor of 300% (9 mph vs. 3 mph)

115->124 mph is roughly (again via the simple formula) 475->595 hp
