E70/71 M vs F85/86 M?

Curious if anyone had a chance to run against a new model...or vice versa. Please share any experience along with details of race and specs of your vehicle, your opponents (if known).

I know that on paper and testing the new generation vehicles are faster but I'm wondering about real-life results.

TIA...

I haven't ran against one but everything i'm seeing and hearing says they are significantly faster. IIRC they trap a solid 4-6 MPH faster than the E70 and what I'm told is that they respond much stronger to tuners than the E70.

I've heard the same...that TU is really a gem of an engine. I'm very surprised no one here had a run in with one.

Based on Europe magazine test results, new gen. X5M/6M are 2 seconds faster from 0-200km/h, that's a big difference.
