None have legitimately seen 12s stock. ;-) I love m3s. I have no reason to BS you.
I will own a stock m3 from either the launch or get go...
And Eric's car is the only other S4 I've been in that is as fast or faster (probably faster without cats) as my car.
When we say we beat stock m3s, it's not bs. So, quit doing this to yourself here.
Many of us own m3s.

I don't doubt you beat those M3's
You seem to be the champion of your brand. Try someone that's a champion of the M3 brand & you'll come short. I ran 13.0 @ 108 stock. I now run 12.6 @ 110.4 with very basic mods.
When I was stock I beat some other M3's by a second sometimes. SOmetimes the kid bog or spins too much. SOmetimes they come to the track with a full tank of gas.
They don't adjust tyre pressures, they don't cool the manifold, they don't stage shallow, etc. They they hit the limiter when shifting. Drop out of powerband etc.
Difference between someone that knows what he's doing & someone who doesn't can be huge. Even on the highway. With an M3 you must be in the right gear as all the power is at the top.
So I wouldn't get too excited if you guys beat a few M3's on the highway. Try that with someone else & you may get a mauling. A stock M3 that traps 108 will be a formidable opponent for an S4 to meet up with on the road.
BTW, I have plenty video, I think you seen some. Want to see me race 2 RS6's, one of them has exhaust?

I come here because you gloat about beating M3's ..
when that's not representative of how these cars compare.
Even my 2 buddies that own S4's agree with me (you've seen them in some videos).

Gloat? I got beat by the M3? Get off my post
How am I gloating about it? I raced 2 M3's one on the freeway and one from a red light. beat them both, they were probably stock I dont know. The only one I lost to was the one up top and was from a roll. Dont be sorry just because your M3 has been beaten from time to time by an S4. It happens, get over it.
