Back in the day a buddy had a B6 S4 and I had an M Coupe. In Dallas or Vegas (where we each lived) my BMW was noticeably quicker. At my folks place in Santa Fe, at 7k feet, it was closer, but still not equal. However driving up the ski hill, over 9k feet, he'd have a small advantage. And this is two cars that were less than a half second apart in 1/4 mile times and actually about even 0-60.
The n/a 5.0 Mustang up here are in the 14s. I don't know if we get detuned versions of US cars, or maybe our fuel just suck.

Similiarly, a 6.2 V8 C63 and 4.0 V8 M3 are also in the 14s up here or maybe high 13s.
