Its going to be close, in fact over say quarter of a mile I'd say it was whoever is the best at changing gear rapidly will do it. Its so close that if anyone of the drivers fluffs a gear change and the other 2 don't, then they are likely to come in third.
It also depends how accurate your measurement of your mods is. Some rolling roads are a little optimistic to say the least.
Talk your boss into hiring out an airfield or summit and give it a try. Make a great vid to stick on here (especially if your P1 does them and the boss comes in last!!

The P1 will win full stop. Don't listen to all this rubish about the CSL being quicker over 140mph because it won't. My P1 was running less power than you and at that speed my P1 was quicker than a CSL.
As for the FQ340, no worries. I've had a play with a 380bhp + Evo 8 and there was nothing in it so I wouldn't worry about anything with less power.

350bhp/330lbft and fwd meaning very little losses and power at wheel figures in region of 310whp.
Even with 400bhp in your classic, i doubt you'd be making any ground at all, if at all.
As to original question, my £££ would be on P1 upto around 130mph then CSL afterwards.

Id say your P1 Kev, you got more power then the other 2, and your car is lighter!!!
Just a quick question to anyone who can answer, If everyone is saying the M3 CSL will be quicker after 130mph, I thought they where limited to 155mph, If thats the case how would the M3 start to pull away, last time I looked the scooby doesnt just stop dead at 130mph!!!!!

I suspect on some rollers the standard IX FQ340 would be of similar power to the tuned up P1 on VF35, just it weighs about 10% more.
On a TD05 but otherwise similar setup to the P1 on a MY00 UK Scooby, it actually was far more impressive against my E46 M3 at higher speeds and was always changing gear at lower speeds. I would say it would be equal to the CSL in a straight line, and behind it on a dry smooth track. £200 spend on the Evo would see it right there as well.
You're talking 10% either way in all of these which depends on rollers, mods, and how well the driver changes gear.
