How can that be if it weighs more and dynos less? The answer is that dynoing at the rear wheels and extrapolating to crank HP is completely bogus. That's obvious from this test. If the Porsche did make significantly less power and weigh more, it should be slower from 100-200 km/hr. And it isn't. QED.

Ummm, no. This means the Porsche continued to pull on the BMW. If it was a .6 second lead at 100 the distance would be x. At 200 the distance between the cars to equal .6 seconds is much greater than x. Because the cars travel further in .6 seconds at a higher speed. This means that if at 100 .6 seconds is 5 car lead. At 200 it had a lot more than a 5 car lead. So yes it is the same time gap. But in a head to head race the Porsche would be gaining car lengths after 100. Not the BMW hanging with it.
