Raced a 235i Stage 2. The guy was running E30 and claiming 400whp. Seems a little bit high but I'm not educated enough on his car to question it. We did 2 pulls at a 40 roll. His car was manual and my car was DSG. I'm APR Stage 2. We stayed neck and neck and every time he shifted I pulled him back him. It's fair to say his car was a little bit quicker than mine but I'm not sure he's running 400whp.

40 to 100 - The result was less than a half a car. Pretty much his nose and that's it.

An auto would pull on me no doubt. And he wasn't bad at shifting. I'm optimistically running 320whp.

Nice! Stage 2 must make good gains over stage 1. I'm on APR stage 1 ECU/DSG tunes. I know my stock 99 Vette 6spd is quite a bit faster than my GTI and i'm sure that BMW is faster than my Vette, so this makes me happy.

Had a chance to drive a friends 235 a few months ago and let me tell you that even when stock those things can really scoot. I'm very impressed that the GTI held up as well as it did considering that it's down two cylinders and a liter of displacement.
