Holy crap!

What a driver! Also really shows how good the RS3 really is :)

M3 doesn't seem to pull on it much :shock:

Now, who wants to go to the track!

Probably because the RS3 is tuned! Great driver though.

That's pretty impressive with just a remap Especially as he drove it in auto all the way round although I think the M3 GTS drivers bottle went after a couple of minutes

I still chuckle to myself at how quick this car is, spoke to Kim at MTM yesterday regarding a stage 1 remap, BIG hike up for £999! The only thing holding me back is the warranty issues :(

i was talking to my dealer about this today, pee's me off the RS3 has had its wings clipped purely for marketing so it fits in the range

but having had one RS3 lunch its engine i am very cautious about loosing the warranty

I think warranty holds a lot of people up mate. Annoying isn't it.

Is a bit worrying but after having my TT-RS remapped and it becoming a different animal I've decided to bite the bullet and booked the RS3 in at MRC for 2/10/2012

Yep had it mapped at MRC increase from 351 to 409 bhp there's a guy (Mitchy) off the TT forum had his TT-RS S-Tronic Remapped there and think he was doing 3.4 Secs 0-60 times with just the map his thread is to long to read on the forum but think he's at stage 2 now and times down to 3.29 sec :thumbs:

That's some serious times... Every thing holding up ok, gearbox, running gear etc, I take it is..

I think exhaust is first with me then see how everything settles, but it does need some more power, my stage 2 cupra only had 320bhp but seemed quicker, may just be the power delivery
