Great one!
Is your A3 chip tuned, btw?
REVO Chip and K&N CAI at the moment for performance mods.

I noticed.

Mine is French for chief, so that makes me much more sophistiqué et chic.

I wonder if he calls his son, "little chief"? LOL

Hey Chief, we're just having some fun. Welcome aboard!!!

Stryker - actually - since I had been considering a 330 before I discovered the A3. Those things come off the dealer lot with only about 225bhp with a torgue band that was nothing compared to the A3. I test drove multiple 3's on the same day as A3's - on the same road. A factory 325 has no prayer, AT/MT.... A factory 330 - AT - would need a skilled driver, "their road" and some luck.
Overall y'all can understand why I picked the A3 back in August - and Chef - just totally justified my choice.

The Beemer would need to be modded with a supercharger to beat our chipped A3's. Even the stock 2.0T would have a good shot at a stock 330. That would come down to driver skill as you said. They don't stand a chance against me at the moment!

I had a Lexus is300 working to keep up with me yesterday. We never got a chance to race each other, but he was always behind when I got an open road, and he looked pretty mad in the rearview mirror when he finally caught up with me at a light.[:-]

We have very very fun cars.

Cheers!

Man Chef-Nice kill. Sounds like you are one of a few people on here who consistently drive your car as an F-1. Can't wait to get my chip...

By the way Chef-I'm enjoying watching the Bears tonight.

I thought they were faster than just 225 hp stock, that's weak, 225hp is far from the 300hp i thought they had.
like i said before nice kill .

Arent those cars close to 300 hp? That guy get close to beating you at all cheff or was it a chick in an at. ? LOL
Anyway great kill just bustin your chops.

Just to let you know you should have killed him, due the fact that you are pushing 250hp and 290tq with the REVO chip and the 330ci only has 225hp and around 220tq. But job well done
