You are right.
A professional Thai sport driver tested the new m3p (LG) on the track, and compared the times to more than 100 performance cars.
There were two different loops, a short one (with lots of turns and no ability to reach very high speed) and a long loop.
On the short loop, the new LG m3p reached 6th place (tied with Porsche 911 Carrera type 992 that came at number #5).
But, on the long loop, where much higher speeds can be reached, it came out #12. Still a good place (out of more than 100 performance cars he tested), but the inability of the new m3p LG to accelerate hard at higher speeds, hindered its place here).
It needs to be taken into account that the new m3p was tested in light rain, and the track was damp.
You can see the test here, starting at 1:10:33. Table for short loop results can be seen at 1:29:54. Table for long loop results at 1:32:49. He goes through the entire list of more than 100 cars for every loop.
