It seems you think I'm having a hard time with this because the M3 was .02 seconds behind - nothing could be further from the truth. As a former M2 owner, I know what a great car it is - as I pointed out earlier in the thread, a much shorter wheelbase coupled with a smaller gas tank can do wonders on a twisty course. Trust me, I'm not defending anything here - just pointing out, the numbers might as well all be equal. Would it help you understand this if I didn't own a M3?
No one has said it is statistically significant. Literally no one.

I'm really not sure where you are getting your info from. If you can point to something I said that was incorrect in this thead or in defense of the M3 being "faster" please do. Otherwise, you and Bradyland are just continuing to amuse the others in the thread (who are apparently MUCH smarter than me because they chose wisely not to engage in this silly debate). Do note, that my point, from the beginning is that the M2C, 718 S, the M3 with Comp Pack, and the Audi RS mk2 are all the same per this test from a statistical standpoint. For them to break down times in 100th of a second on a 2 minute lap done on different days of the year, does not make one of them faster than the other.

PS - there is no such thing as a M3C, there is a M3CS however.

Are you for real? Everybody knows M3C or M4C refers to M3/M4 with Competition Package. Instead of typing the whole damn thing, many people just prefer to call it M3C. Even you are lazy enough to call it "Comp Pack" instead of "Competition Package". However, I'll play along and be a smart-ass like yourself. There is no such thing as an M2C, there is M2 Competition however.

If we really want to get picky, Comp Pack is not the official abbreviation of the option. It should really be referred to as just ZCP .

The internet - the only place where you can observe people who actually agree spending hours arguing over minutiae.

ZCP is just an abbreviation as well and stands for "Zee Competition Pack". In the order guide, it's mentioned as "ZCP - Competition Package"

Please change the topictitle to:

BMW M2 Competition not statistically significantly faster than Cayman S, M3 COMPETITION*, Type R, C63S on Magny-Cours GP Track.

because then I just admit 1:59,78 is slower than 1:59,80 and swallow my pride.


I stand corrected and lesson learned.


*There is no M3 ZCP available in EU, the car in the video is an M3 Competition.

Can I just change it to M3CS? Or will the serious business haters take another swing?

I also don't think some people here appreciate that professional drivers are Uber consistent.

So now I need an undergrad in engineering & statistics to understand an argument you haven't even made? Can I suggest maybe an undergrad course or two in English?

Here's a sentence with some big words in it for you. Try it on for size and let me know if this gets me into the discussion:

It is incumbent upon the author to present their argument in a fashion which can be most easily comprehended by the intended audience.

For anyone not interested in an intellectual circle jerk:

If you're going to make an argument, at least try to make sense. Especially when talking to us plebes.
LOL, in the time it took you to write that post, you could have googled a stats book and found the answer.

Just because you don't understand or want to believe there is a counter argument, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

When you say things like statistical significance and p-value in that context, it's very clear that you don't understand those concepts.

Congrats, you've contradicted yourself.

A more accurate title would carry the sentiment that the M2C, Cayman S, M3 ZCP are similarly fast. Not that any one of them is faster than the others.

Your comments and suggestion that the title "...M2C faster than Cayman S..." is correct implies that you believe the difference in time is statistically significant.

The more appropriate interpretation for the m2c and m3 zcp from the data given suggests that there is not enough evidence to say one is faster than the other. To determine which is faster, more experiments would have to be run.

On a lighter note, both are incredibly similar vehicles - is it really a surprise that they perform... similarly?

You can keep wanking yourself off over your supposed intellectual superiority all day long, but it doesn't change the outcome of this test. I never said it was statistically significant, I only said that you've done a shit job of making an argument.

These two things can be simultaneously true:

1) The M2C was faster than the M3C around Magny-Cours.
2) All we can take from that is that the M2C and M3C are close in performance.

One is a fact, and the other is an evaluation of that fact, arrived at because the margin of victory is so close. This is not the same as statistical significance, btw. I'd explain it to you, but you can just Google it. Amirite?

My opinion is that talking about statistical significance in a context where you have only one sample — again, we don't know how many times they lapped the circuit — is a silly discussion to even have. Should I post a histogram of the lap time distribution?



Let me put this another way. Take this histogram to whatever professor taught you statistics and ask them how you should assess the statistical significance of this data. Be sure to record their reaction, because I love watching people laugh.

And once more for clarity. I never said it was statistically significant, and I never drew any conclusion that is any different from yours. You're the one that started spouting about statistical significance.

No, it doesn't. It just means that the sky is blue, water is wet, and the M2C turned a faster lap time than the M3C around Magny-Cours.

Totally agree. Drawing conclusions does not obviate the facts though.

Please post any information you have about additional data points. I expect we'll see that at about the same time you post an understandable/correct explanation of statistical significance.

Serious post:

FWIW, The Grand Tour's laptime standings from last season or that one before(?)

McLaren Senna did it in S3 E1 in 1:12.9.(deep bow)




Or can we just dismiss this type of laptime leaderboards and which one is correct if any?

Why do carmags/journos etc do lap their cars on different tracks, just for nothing? Is Hockenheim Short/GP more important than Magny-Cours and why?

The Mother of all Tracks(Nordschleife) is pretty important(doh), but every car is also driven in different circumstances/temperatures and ambient temperatures and not on the same day...

When does a laptime count? When one or two rivals are not within, let's say 1 second of the car currently driven? That would be strange....
And who decides if/when a laptime counts/is valid vs the rest?
-Some Bimmerpost forummembers?
-The carjournos/ the guys who drove the car and made it possible?
-???
