The other clue is the trap speed. The cars are going a minimum of 104 mph in the quarter mile, with most seeming to cluster in the 105 - 106 range, at least when density altitudes are at 1000 feet or below. We're talking 330 -340 HP here, assuming 3700 pounds with driver.
Where have you been?
This helps explain your anti-Audi bias. Mine was a better experience.

First of all see this thread:

I am trying to turn over a new leaf. Since we are now on 335s and have dispensed with the Audi conversation.....
There is a popular rumor on the internet that 335s and GTRs are underrated. There is also a wide variance between the E/T and Trapsepeed methods. We have no way to prove anything unless we had an engine dyno.
Another observation that you can stew about....a stock E46 M3 is faster than a stock 335i at sea level.
Enjoy 333 vs. 300 hp
