Incredible.... A Ferrari? What mad times we live in. Still can't believe a SUV can do this. Made a cubic yard mulch run this weekend with the aluminum trailer, and it was still fast. BMW needs to hurry up and drop this engine in the M3 with Xdrive as it will be damn near untouchable and make me want a third car...

All I've gotten to bite so far was a SVR F type. Pretty sure he was modded since it was loud. We did somehighway pulls. He edged me out slightly. Maybe half a car 60-120. No one else ever wants to play.

Was this as the track? If so, what were each times? I've been considering picking one up. I imagine they get the X3M out of the hole and you reeled him in on the top end?

As a modded Golf R owner I have been shopping for an RS3 for a couple years. The market is finally saturated enough that they are willing to deal. However, I really need the tax writeoff of the Trackhawk (6K lb gross). The MQB platform really is phenomenal though. I love driving my R. The X3M feels like a truck in comparison

Wow, with passenger and luggage. Thanks for sharing this, I've always been curious on this result.

And honestly, to me this is a pretty polite way of starting a street race/drag. Over here, everyone seems to just want to cut you off and you have to start in the back; all in fun up until someone rear-ends the other.

when you get that e30 tune loaded, it's going to be in more of a world of hurt

and a brand new (to the owner) Maserati GT tried me.... it was just funny. It was so loud, but wasn't moving. 384ftlb of torque for a $140K car lol.

Does e30 feel much faster than Stage 1? Have yet to try.

Based on logs and dragy, it’s 1 psi more, more timing and a bit leaner. I would say 93 would trap 122ish on average and E30 is 127ish on average. That’s 5 mph which is a lot.

If I'm currently running stage 1/93 and I add catless downpipes, does that require me to flash stage 2/93?

Just a little video a friend sent me.. apparently some locals out here in Mexico had a little fun one night lol.

I've been telling guys these SAV's are crazy even my X5M which is slower than the X3M beats up on a lot of cars and it shouldn't be possible but hey these are the times we live in.

When I see how well the X3M / X4M performs it makes me want to get the new G80 M3 so bad because I know it's going to run 9's FBO off an OTS tune only not even custom!

You don't have to, but you'll get more power going stage 2.

Thanks, for the response. I figured out that if I stay at stage 1, I need to deactivate CEL and cold start. I'm really happy with the current tune so not sure I want to go to a 2. Ultimately, I'm looking for faster turbo spoiling and I think that will happen by virtue of the catless downpipes.

I'm waiting for ASR Kratos for upgraded turbo, hopefully sooner than later.

MJD You will not get faster turbo spooling from the catless DP.I am running one as you know and I am not experiencing that,its a little bit better but nothing to write home about.
