RS3 better styling.............

Slightly OT.

TTRS (with (Led to believe) modest mods - remap Circa 400 horses, and KW Coilies, and decent track tyres) BTG 7:39.

The biggest mod is the driver, he obviously knows how to drive fast and smooth.



That TTRS sounds just like my work colleague's Ford Focus ST with a non Res milltek...

B8 A4 3.0 TDi Quattro S-Tronic  :evilgrin:
Must admit I do quite fancy one of these myself STu, will be interested in hearing your thoughts whn you get your :happy2:s

It was built last week so I'm hoping to have it by the end of this/beginning of next month.   :evilgrin:

The one I test drove was a right weapon.  Should be fun surprising some people.   :booty:

That is one fast car right their.  :happy2:

To be fair the TTRS is amazingly balanced round a track, and that is what makes it look so smooth. I have been out on track with Tom in his S3 and his TTRS the latter felt like it was built for track in comparison, every corner and bend on Oulton circuit was taken in its stride, it felt like it was nowhere  near the limit. I often wonder why some cars cost staggering amounts more than others. The TTRS is £20,000 ish more than a ED 30 new, and after going round a track as a pax in one i thought ah! that's why.  :happy2:

No question, an E90 M3 Saloon.

I bet it's better round a track than a TTTS too :wink:
