Here's a 5.4 and 13.7 run at GTI Int'l 2 years ago..
http://media.putfile.com/Audi-TT-vs-Porsche-GT3
Ignore the title...it's not a GT3, I can assure you...but a standard C4S!
I did slighlty better on later runs....5.0 and aq 12.9 by not hitting the limiter in 2nd (as you can hear)
Either way...it's about on 8P S3 numbers.
I'm off the feeling that my 303PS Boxster S is faster than my 8P S3 was and it had a verified 330PS and 450NM of torque. Hence my reasoning that you'll be faster. I do find the BS easier to launch though!
Even my 8L was brutal in 1st and 2nd (280 BHP, 330 lb-ft) but by 3rd and 80ish, where the 911 is just getting going in 3rd, it takes the advantage.
But with Audis short gearing, 1st and 2nd are over in a flash, if you are brutal enough...almost too quick in 1st!
After spending £1300 on a new sachs racing clutch and flywheel im not going to be launching the car at the weekend.. More than happy to race anyone from a roll but unfortunately I dont have enough money to replace it again for a while!
Sure that im now going to get slated, but honestly, I dont really care

Jeeez, what was the TT running on? 4.23 :O
I agree, I nearly snap my rev counter needle everytime I floor it in first!
Silly gearing...
1st over in a flash..2nd that can't reach 60 standard...why the hell don't they gear it up a bit, with all that torque it would surely be nicer to drive?
I found that for backroads I was looking for a gear between 2nd and 3rd.
Even still. If the GT3 was driven properly it would be at least 2 seconds faster to 100mph and at that speed, thats a big gap. Not reflected in this video.
Even if he was in second gear I still think he would have had you if driven properly. Bear in mind a standard S3 30-70 is 5.1 and with the mods you have probably 4.0 dead. The GT3 RS is still a second faster than that
Interesting vid, I have no doubt that given enough road, the GT3 would have flown past, suprised it couldn't pass it earlier though. Whilst out on a trackday in my mates SLK AMG32(around 350BHP and around 12 secs 0-100), we was only past by a handful of cars along the straight, an Ariel Atom, a remapped Porsche Turbo and 2 GT3 RS's! Car's that didn't pass us was an M3 CSL, Evo6 and suprisingly, a V10 M5(new shape one with 500bhp), probably didn't know how to drive though.
Forgot the name of the track now, the straight is almost a mile long?, I hit around 130mph before I had to brake for a chicane.
Wow!
That video proves.....
...nothing.
Lets be honest...if you are in the market for a GT3 - especially an RS - you don't care how fast an S3 is....because you aren't interested.
On the road, my 8L S3 was quicker than any NA Carrera out of a 15MPH corner in 2nd...
But you wouldn't be in 2nd at 15MPH in a Carrera normally.
I don't think anyone doubts how quick the 8P S3 is when chipped...but the video doesn't really prove anything.
????What????I can't see an S3 doing much under 13 with the mods Jonny has. What can the C4S do it in? If it's got a lot less torque, less power and similar weight I would have though it would be slower than the S3. I guess gear ratios and drag will come into play.
completely agree. That video is crap. It looks like you get the jump on him at the start anyway. Not scientific at all.

look at the EVO times for an S3 around the west circuit and then the time of the GT3 RS, I think you will find about an 8 second difference. I dont care if yours is tuned, its not gonna beat a GT3 let alone an RS.
an S3 is just an audi, a GT3 is a special porsche, the RS, well thats even better. Get some perspective mate.
????What????
A standard S3 has been timed on more than one occasion at doing 0-100 in 13.6 secs.
My Ed30 does 0-100 in mid-high 11's and that's with FWD!!! I know it's DSG (which will help a tiny bit), but with Jonny's having more power and the aid of 4WD off the line, it should easily get 11's.. But as he's just weighed out over a grand for a new clutch and flywheel, it may not happen this weekend (and I don't blame him). But it should be more than capable..
It's going to be a interesting day, that's for sure! Just hope it all stays friendly (no slagging) no matter what the outcome!:icon_thumright:

Also you are posting this on a public forum and seem to have videos of speeding on public roads. If you get done by the rozzers they will have so much evidence against you! Just think about what you post
Why do you have such a problem? And what are you talking about.. 'get some perspective' ???
Like pretty much everyone who has taken the time to read my comments has said, im not saying that my car is faster, quite the opposite, I said that the RS pulls back near the end of the video!
The S3 'just' being an Audi has nothing to do with how quick it is, which is all the video is highlighting, pretty soon ill be running around 500BHP in the S3 and shock horror it probably will be faster than the porsche in a straight line but it will still be 'just' and Audi, so i really dont get your point?
GT3076 external wastegate, built internals, fuel pump, injectors etc etc etc..
Thats the plan anyways, the car has everything it needs now to accept a big hike in power so looking forward to it!
I need to keep on doing things to my car otherwise I just get bored with it unfortunately, doesnt matter what it is either! Should keep me entertained for a while I think..

Why are you spending so much money on an S3? Dont you think buying a better car might be the answer instead of tuning the hell out of an S3? eg. an RS4 how much have you spent on the car, (plus what you are planning to spend in the near future)?
Whats my point.. 500bhp out of an S3. Why? Isnt 300 enough? How much compromise do you have to make to get that figure? What does it do to economy/ride/daily usability? It just seems too extreme. If you are just using it as a weekend plaything then fair enough. Just think you could spend your money more wisely and get a better car.
On the topic of mega mods. I'm thinking of trading in my BS for an older, used 2.7 Cayman, with low mileage and getting an X51 engine and gearbox transplant, exhaust, brakes and new ECU. Should be good for 400+ hp in a mid engined car weighing less than 1400kg.
