My car felt kinda sluggish (relatively) with the stock chip. The Jim C really did a number--it woke up the engine! Other than that, it's 100% bone stock and is fast as a scalded cat!

Someone published times from C&D for the US E28 M5, something like low 6s 0-60 and 14.5 in the 1/4. Those numbers seem VERY low, though. There's no way that a stock Honda Civic Si can keep up with an M5! I'd bet I could easily break into the 13s. Never drag raced from a stop, though. I'm too afraid of blowing the timing chain to really wring it out above 6000RPM.
