(18 psi, full suspension, bypass valve, short shift mod, big wheels &tires, etc.) A more appropriate match-up would be a stock M3 or 540i orlets up the ante - any one of those tuned monsters profiled in EC - Golf,318, Jetta, Volvo.>> This contradicts what you said earlier when
beating up on MichaelWilliams...comparing
tq's to a M3 WITH brake mods (with the stock brakes of anM3 being among the best on a street car already) Mike, I don't see any contradiction. The
M3 I was speaking of was being compared to very, very modified 5TQs (wheels,
suspension, chips, lightened flywheels, brakes, stress bars, etc) and modified
S4s and S6s (Chips, brakes, not sure about suspension). I heard the M3 had
some brake work - I just don't know what if any (could just be pad
compound). My point with Igor was that he has an outstanding car that
should beat the snot out of a 325i. I think a M3 would be a much closer
match.
I have not heard or read any (and there have been a ton of
reviews) reviews which discuss everyday driving as being difficult or onerous
with the M3 (unlike the old boy-racer M3). Christ, I'm starting to sound
like a BMW ad!
This whole thread got started by me wishing the A6 was more
sporting in nature. Forgive me:-).
