Although I would wish it was the case ... 

After watching Hanz Stuk (spelling unknown) accelerate from 120 to 193 MPH on 
the autobahn in a V10 M6 ... I think you may be overestimating his foot 
position.

A late model 540i will be tough to beat with a 3.0 bar K24 ... at least my 
car struggled to stay with one before I went to the RS2 ... now I loose off the 
line until I hit 30 then I play catch-up till about 80 and then we run out of 
room (91 octane). Where is that sequential turbo!
