I guess we know who wins in a straight line.

"Engines & Performance—K1600GT 1st; C14 2nd.
Neither of these big-block sport-tourers left our test team with
much to complain about in the engine department. Both make
similar peak horsepower numbers, but we give the edge to the
BMW K1600GT despite the C14’s slight advantage during our
performance testing. The lighter C14 zipped from 0–60 mph in
just 2.91 sec. and from 0–100 mph in 6.56 sec. on the way to a
brisk 10.56 sec/127.68 mph in the quarter mile. That’s quicker
across the board than the GT’s best 0–60 time of 3.00 sec., 0–100
of 7.30 sec. and respectable 10.89 sec. @ 122.13 mph, but the
K1600GT still wins because its more prodigious torque output and
silkier, more responsive character work better in the real world."
So the C14 is quicker and has better numbers but the BMW still wins in this category?
