M3 E90 vs RS5 spin

Hi guys,

since I moved from 550i E60 to current M3 a few month ago I certainly have enjoyed the ride - and the chassies! - but to be honest been puzzled whether it run accordin to spec or not.

Went out with a buddy for a test spin versus his RS5. Raced multiple runs from 20->125mph isch and 50>125mph, even runs but with the M3 gaining a few meters every single time.
Again main purpose was to check my car was doing alright. According to official specs I should have fallen behind a little rather than him, so obviously came out please...

So guess its not the power lacking but me simply needing to get used to the S65 curve incl less low-end torque - not an unpleasant exersise thought..
