Yeah, I've seen that already and the child seat is wedged against the roof lining because it is raked so much. Just curious to see what they were actaully like from RS4 owners who have driven them.

Have got this booked I with the top blokes at Revolution for a stage two remap, miltek,fmic and air filter which should give comfortably over 400bhp. Different to the B7 but should be fun
trust me, you wont be disappointed! :beerchug:

I'm about to either grab myself a sepang rs3 or BMW 1M both as you guessed will be heavily modded as soon as I get them. Looking to do 500+ with either one I decide to go with. R8's gtr's porka turbos etc are all in my budget but I'll hang off a few years

My RS4 goes Friday back to Audi and I'll be driving the RS3 home. It felt so much quicker on the test drive but i've put this down to the fact turbo cars always 'feel' quicker...... Athough i did have to ring the RS4's neck on the way home and felt more of an effort.
I'd say up to 100mph it is easily as quick as the RS4, especially as they apparently never produced Audi claimed power figures (so I have been told on numerous occasions on here anyway). That, coupled with coked up engines makes the RS3 a superb contender! I'd love to see a "GTBoard" style run between them!

I have raced my friends RS 3 and beat it with ease on the m-way. We were coming side by side and accelerating from 50 and I was pulling on him with ease. Mind you my Rs4 has a few mods :FIREdevil:

If it were bog standard and coked up then I think it would be close..


But from a standing start he blasted away due to his launch control facility!! :bigwave:

A stock TTRS Stronic is easily quicker than a stock B7 to about 110
The ride on the TT is shocking, its like driving my R8 with mag ride permanently switched onto firm setting
The handling is <beep>, push it to the limit and all you get is understeer

The B7 is a better all rounder imo butbif your gonna go 2.5T its got to be RS 3 all day long over the TTRS, espcially if your not gay
