Went to Mexico yesterday, ran a stock 335i and a Heads/Cam GTO.
The 335i was a dig, he put less than a car on me while i was spinning, hooked in the top of second gear and very quickly put a few car lengths on him and let out. It was ugly.
The GTO is an LS1 with Trick Flow 215s (basically the baddest head you can put on an LS1, $3600 head/cam package). All the bolt ons, obviously. Trunk was gutted, but i think it had full interior, not sure.
We did a 40 and a 60 roll. He didn't hear the honks on the 40 so i jumped out a bit and he motored around me eventually. That was about 40-120.

Second one was a 60 roll, lost by a few cars, as expected.

The E92 M3 was a random encounter, giant DINAN sticker across the windshield with a carbon hood and trunk, exhaust, etc.
Couldn't get him to line up with me, but we played around for 7 or 8 miles.
He was a hair quicker than me. A hair. He would creep a foot or two at the top of each of his gears, shift (DCT Trans) and sit there. If i didn't have 50lbs of extra shit in the car, it would have been dead nuts. It was that close.
Some of the heavy hitters that were out yesterday were a 1650whp GTR (on kill, turned down to 1350whp yesterday, although there is controversy about whether it got turned up after it got beat) and a 1315whp / 1150wtq Z06.
The GTR went 198mph in the 1/2 mile a few setups ago. It's significantly faster now. Safe to call this car a no budget build. The brake rotors were $8500. Transmission was more than a GTI.
Both were racing my buddy on his stock motor '16 ZX10R.
You're not catching a bike/rider like this with a car that traps below 170mph.
Just for reference, his 5-6 shift is 170-173mph.
