Long story short, raced my friend who has an E92 M3 and all I have is an Intake. Its interesting that a near stock DSG GTI kept up with a V8 BMW.
If there was no car in front of me, i think it would have been a tie...
best 30 seconds with this car!

Seems lame I know but I wanted to share my story

Thank you for reading!!

Gti is an impressive machine even in stock form. Surprises me even more now with jb4.

E92 has zero torque down low, must be wrung completely out to redline, and they trap 111mph. You would get owned in a legitimate roll race all things being the same. This race would get ugly fast in the real world.

The extra weight is more than offset by nearly double the stock horsepower. As alluded to above, a healthy example E90/E92 M3 driven properly will trap 111-113mph stock. That will smash a stock tuned GTI, and give most stage 2 mk7s a fight and a half.

Don't sleep on those cars. They're nearly a decade old, but they are still great. Drive the proper wheels, rev deep, and have fantastic driving dynamics.

OP: Is the M3 a convertible? If so, they weigh over 4000lbs and would definitely be a good run for a stock GTI.
If he's a coupe or sedan, then he needs to learn how to drive. It shouldn't be a tie with just an intake on the GTI. I've driven plenty of e92 M3s and they're not that slow.
