I remember my first Mexico ( I had a few) Escort Mexico (Ex Liverpol Police car) I was on cloud cuckoo land, and boy was it fast?............................97mph top speed 0-60..........11.5 seconds..how quick is thatNostalgia: when just over 100hp seemed a lot, a fifth gear was a novelty, 14" wheels were big, 60 profile tyres were low, 0-60mph times were nearly 10s and top speeds weren't much more than 100mph!
Yup, good old Orion Ghia 1.6i, what a machine1983 to 1993 2 versions MK1 and MK 2 so a full decade of production my dad had 2 MK1 's after his XR3I
It seems white is a grower...

Think we all know the difference in each car by now don't we?
You guys mostly know the difference but not everyone does.
And I also test the noise of the cars side by side. So let me know which sounds best…

I don't think he's ruined anybody's week, certainly not mine lol. The RS3 is 21 bhp down on the A45s and 10kg heavier. When you calculate the differences in tyres, driver weights, power deficit and the other contributory factors, they are probably quite evenly matched which has to only be a win for the RS3 really having less power. The most important thing was from a standing start and with a perfect launch for both, the RS3 edged it. A45s did stop impressively quick though!That difference in rolling acceleration tho...
Surprised Audi hasn't banned use of their press cars in 'versus' videos that aren't drags only.
First carwow ruining people's weekend, now Joe Achilles ruining people's week.

3.4 to 60 though is impressive given how cold it was. 3.1 easily achievable with the trofeo tyres and warmer climate I'd have thought.
Google suggests it is 1550-1560kg kerb weight so who knows what weight it is lolPretty sure Joe got the A45s weight wrong

I don’t get why we a few VS trims that have build dates and everyone else has nothing. Doesn’t make sense.My vorsprung saloon has jumped forward again from week 16 22 to next week (wk48)
Getting closer!

Direct from Mercedes’ site, showing 1660kg curb weight. The AMG 35 is 1580kg it’s says.

Mine was still W49 this morning, whether that has also moved to W48 like the other on here who knows, I find dealer response a little lackluster and needs a prompt most weeks.I don’t get why we a few VS trims that have build dates and everyone else has nothing. Doesn’t make sense.
Surprised how heavy the 8R is

That makes no sense. If you use the key to unlock the car then the alarm will turn off because the car is unlocked...Well just had my first major problem with the RS. Break it alarm went off on my phone and cars alarm went off. For 10 mins straight, resetting the alarm on the app, unlocking & locking the car did nothing, turned the car on which did nothing. Had to go up and down my road for it to turn off. ****** ridiculous. Will be getting straight onto the phone to Audi in the morning, can’t be having that happen again
I think the Rs3 is putting out a fair bit more than the 400 stated from what I've seen in the video'sLol you didn’t Dyno one.
No one has yet
You’ve had a week is it, since last asking for suggestions.
Plenty of time to book a Dyno and be the first to Dyno the new car.
Do something different…….

Me either. At the end of the day, 95% of us are buying the car for what it is. The other 5% will care about the fact it’s lighter and a touch slower on kick down in comfort mode because they plan to take it to 1000bhp. I’m not that guy.Personally, I don’t mind how fast it is compared to the other cars. Given the chance I’d pick it for the 5 pot, Quattro, interior, diff and those wider arches.
All of which are as good, if not better, than those other cars for me. You’re paying the price for it, but depending what you want then it’s worth it.

Exactly. Just like the people that really want an M2 are willing to accept it having a bit of a naff interior and be completely useless in anything other than warm, dry roads.
I’d like to do some slight exhaust mods and maybe a tube down the line, but I won’t be going crazy with mine I don’t think. I look forward to seeing those that do though!
