I think most might agree that the combination of the power output and the 4-wheel drive system is pretty hard to compete against.   :notworthy:

until you are on the track (in the dry) when the lightness and balance of the ed30 will be superior (power nothwithstanding), all that 4 wheel drive just adds weight and little benefit unless you are either on a slippery surface or your driving style benefits from 4 wheel drive  :wink:

That will be 90% of british roads in british weather then  :signLOL:

Didnt Johnny C go back to the Ed30 after his S3 though? Must be better if it was worth doing that!

and then he went from that to the TTRS  :laugh:

Well Jonny can answer for himself of course, but I'd be surprised if he said that his car choices were principally driven by whether FWD or 4WD/quattro. More likely to be tuneability, driveability and a vision for a project.
