: Hi, just want to correct you on one thing: the M5 produces 369lb-ft of torque.

Sorry, my mistake.

That makes the first weight to torque ratio higher. (About 10.38) Probably a little closer to the M3 (if you use the torque value people are guessing, about 270 to 280).

In that case, the acceleration would be much closer without gearing changes!
