some one said that they were saying, "he's pulling away, he's still pulling away"

That is no suprise at all, infact i will be supprised if the S60 has anything more than a basic remap. M3 cabs are lardy and weigh as much as a bloody 5 series, and a lot more than a S60 !

220K,s is only 136mph! It seemed to take em ages to get there too! I reckon both are stanard! I thought the M3,s were WELL quicker than that

No idea about absolutes though I neck & neck'd an M3 coupe down the 1/4 at Avon in my RICA's V70 T5 Auto. He crossed the line 0.04 secs infront of me, mind you my 60ft time was dreadful at 2.948 secs (bloody torque limiter).

He didn't acknowledge my thumbs up at the end though!

M3's are quick - but not a lardy cab. I had a go at a CSL once in my old T5, which was a 'quick-un' and from 90-150 he kept pulling and pulling, and the faster i went the faster he went. From side by side @ 90 to 150 mph he pulled 30 car lengths ?????
