No arguement, we all have our opinions and enjoy different things in cars. My point was simply that although the 0-60 in that video had the RS3 as being faster than the RS6 official time (albeit 0-62) and you stated there was a 40k+ difference, but in the real world the RS6 is considerably faster and more like a 30k difference.
But if it's not the car for you then I am a fairy and my name is nuff. Fairy nuff.

What makes me laugh is that the majority of people think a car is good because of the 0-60
There's so much more to a car than that.

I think they are transitioning to the rolling races now easier on parts and labour :)

It's all a bit of fun for pub talk anyway :beerchug:

I was just surprised at this video, as I'd have bet the A45 beating the RS3.

Is it LC or torque curve or tyres?
Hmmmmm. What about weight?
