I have a pretty much stock gti. 08 with evoms intake, neuspeed short shifter but no tune or anything(I know, I should have one.) I also have the big briefcase muffler removed but I know that doesn't change anything but maybe takes off a few pounds.
Did 2 runs with my friend in his 4 door 330i. Not the brand new ones, but the body that's a couple years old. 09 I think.
First run, rolling start from first gear at just a few mph. Got the jump on him immediately and thought he was history. We went up to 65 maybe and by the end of it I had him by only a few feet. Less than half a car maybe.
Second run was up to 80, again first gear roll. I had a couple bad shifts(I never race) and the jump he had on me from the start just kept increasing til he had me by maybe a car length at the end of it.
Haven't read on here about our cars vs 330's. I never race actually, so I'm pretty sure things wouldve went much more my way if I was a better shifter/shifted at correct rpm's. He was using paddles. Both times he wanted to start from dig but I declined. To my knowledge, there's no way to get a fast start from a dig without burning the clutch atleast a little, am I right on that?
Anyway just thought I'd share.
