Drag racing is meaningless to me. How they drive is what I care about most, and the C2 wins in spades there. Plus I think the C2 will be the faster circuit car despite a whole lot of missing hp.

Unless both cars are tested on the same dyno on the same day, it is pointless talking about hp diference other than factory numbers.
And they have actually tested the both cars at the circuit and the M4 was faster.

The cohesive car Porsche makes, is hard to match by anyone. And BMW is lucky Porsche has not decided to play in the M3/4, C63/S, Cadi V, Alfa QV sandbox, because they'd dominate the segment.

The only segment where we can compare apples to apples is M8GC against Porsche Panamera Turbo/S, and even if we compare the base M5 against it, it doesn't fare well for the Porsche.

So to say that the Porsche would so easily dominate in the M3/4 segment for the same price point is little bit of a stretch
