I am looking for a magazine or website review on the 1999-2001 S3. I have googled around a good bit and can find anything. I remember Motorcyclist, Cycleworld, etc. doing reviews and comparisons awhile back, but can't find anything now.

What do you want to know? I've got 25,000 mi. on my '01, and it has been a great bike.

I was just curious as to what some of the MAGs thought about it.

As I recall, it got great reviews. I have some mags from years past. I'll dig and see what I can find.

Are you running a PCIII by any chance? Any idea what the 60-80mph times are?

Nope, Tuneboy. 60-80 time is fast enough.

I have the PC III on mine with a K&N and the map that came in the box. My butt tells me it's faster across the whole range, but especially at higher rpms. Don't have any data to back up that statement. Sorry.

I thought the PCIII came with the stock map. If that is the case...there should be no performance improvement I don't think. IS yours USB?
