You miss the fact he said STG1 which actually is faster than E90/E92 M3's. They have ran 11.9s with nothing but STG1 tune and intake. Maybe past 140mph the M3 might have an advantage but a lot lighter and underrated power makes them quite fast.

Also, the article you quoted is substantially old and not accurate. The actual production DSG Golf R's have been banging off 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds stock and 3.7-3.9 with a tune. The ol' S65 might want to be a tad careful.
