But I wasn't drawing a comparison to anything. He said a Golf R (which wasn't even close to being available back then) is faster than your X1. I just correct him as a side-note.
Surprised he even brought up another "useless" car though.

Stock to Stock they are actually nearly identical. 5.2 vs 5.3 0-60 and 1/4 mile is the same.
People don't understand that the power under the curve of the N55 engine is where the engine really shines. The Golf R engine and N55 don't have a large difference in peak power but look at the curve...the N55 average power over time is significantly higher.
