Note that M3 is more than 100 kg lighter, has more than 50 PS more, has M-Diff and has DCT which is faster at shifting, so as launch control of course.
As much as I would like that to be true, I somehow doubt a RWD car will get to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds on a street with street tyres simply not enough traction. As for DCT helping, you would probably only do one gear change to 100.

As for it doing 0-100km/h (62mph) as fast as a 4WD Audi, not going to happen, sorry.
