Interesting results. I know a mildly tuned 9000 2.0 does about 170 km/h indicated in a 400m run where a 540i 6spd (with the same good driver) did a bit less. Of course this will change at higher speeds where drag and power become more important, but I have a hard time understanding how a correctly running 300+HP 9000 should be slower than a heavier 286HP 540i in an 1800m run. At least not if you don't count the driver as a factor.
Another interesting test would be a rolling start 1000-1500m test where the cars start at a speed of say 50km/h or something like that. I suspect that the removed difference in launching advantage would change the overall scores quite a bit.
