Who mentioned the S3, when is that due out. In the meantime Ive been offered an 12/62 1800mile RS3 for £36k! Which Im sure I could get for £35k, which is very good value. But have also been looking at R's, but considering my ED35 had everything bar roof and ACC, thats what Id want, and that will be a very rare spec...
Something silly like 340bhp on Stage1?

As per title just sold the car! Lovely car, but the lack of grip, and approx 320BHP always annoyed me a little. However, driven correctly and the rewards were massive. It doesnt help seeing Hurdy's thread on his car, that with similar mods, I can get 4 seconds to sixty, in all weathers, in an R!However here is the dilema - Do I get a Golf R, which to all intents and purposes will feel the same as what Ive just sold, but would need to be a big specification, to match the ED35. Or do I go for an RS3, which is quick out the box, will hold its money as well, if not better than the R, and with a re-map, takes it into the sub 4 seconds category. And the sound is awesome. However the interior is a bit long in the tooth, as is the Nav, but it is an RS!Or do I go for an B8 S4 Avant, which with a map is 450BHP, and would be a serious sleeper. My wife doesnt however need a big car, as she only does school run etc, and I run a SPortline Kombi if we need something bigger.I think I might have answered my own question, reading back my answers. It looks like Im leasning towards the RS3...Or do I wait for the MK7 R or new S3.........but Im not one to wait!Open for discussion??

I love the whole I have gone stage 2+ and got no traction get some good tyres sort the suspension out and all the other front end stuff like mounts fit an LSD and then your traction problems are sorted. Too many people just go power mad and are plain lazy and don't sort all the other bits out
