I will say that the F80 isn't crazy faster than an e92 assuming both get a perfect launch, etc.
However, the F80 is crazy faster than the e92 at:
1. Everyday RPMs (i.e. using the bottom 75% of the powerband)
2. In-gear acceleration runs like 30-75mph in 4th gear
3. Trap speed differences (to me, a 5-7mph jump between one generation and the next is crazy faster)

To the points above. Yep torque.
The track should be interesting. The M4 ran 7:52 at the ring if I remember. I know most base the E92 off the 8:05 2007 6MT test but I have seen it posted a couple places that a comp pack DCT E92 was in the 7:58 range.
Crazy faster is racing a GT-R in an E92. 2-3 car lengths is not 'crazy faster' IMO.
