Goddamit!, anybody beat an M3 Auto.Sedan! I just got blown away
Currently I am just running a Chip and Exhaust. I thought that the 1.8T Pulls hard at 3rd gear but this bahnstormer blew me away. Will the K04 & Garrett be enough? I am waiting for people to contact me for the MC/Forge Valve group buy!

I would expect that
Regardless of anti-BMW contingent says, the M3 is an AWESOME car doing mid 5's 0-60 stock. I wouldn't think a chipped passat could do mid 5's, and I don't think a chipped k04 would either.
Time for the APR III :>)

M3 owner, that's looking for an S4

0-60 means nothing. We are quick to move first, but ran out of breath to 60, and the more potent
engines pass us as we hit 50 roughly the same time and continue to keep going adding a few more car lenghts. I had seen my friend's auto M3 taillights in 3rd gear dissappear quite fast but G-Tech shows average 7.2 sec in my car, 6.4 in his hmmm. Yup, if only I can have stage 3 or PES.

I have an M3 and 1.8t with APR chip to drive and nothing short of stage 3 is...
going to catch the M3 on the freeway. The quattro is great out of the hole, but it
start to work against you on the top end. The M3 is just super strong from
75 to 130 mph, the 1:1 5th gear ratio helps. But having said that I think the
Audi is the better car for the money. Still I would have a hard time shelling out the $40K for and S4 given the performance of the new M3 for a few grand more. But in my opinion if you want to win straight line races the best bang for your buck is a Z28 LSI, for under $25K (car and modifications) my roomate was running mid 12 sec 1/4 miles and pulling hard, well over 140mph on the freeways.
