The older M's have a 340HP rating and the new ones have a 325HP rating. I know there were changes to the HP rating system so maybe this explains it but how come the new M seems faster than the 03/04 M's? Is it weight/ gearing etc? has anyone raced the two and what were the results?

From numbers I have seen they should be neck and neck

i would think so also. 3.13 to 3.33 gear ratios are not that big of a difference. i think the transmission might make a difference though. hoping for some sort of reflash!
