A simple remap of the S3 will see 310bhp, also as you know a massive amount difference in horsepower (or weight) must be present before either car will convincingly pull away.

310 BHP is the lowest map these days 320 to 330 bhp is common. With an exhaust and air filter more .
Downside to tuning a S3 compared to a Scoob is cost !!
Didnt know it was the drug dealers choice of car !

Driven a new s3 and yes it was very quick - its what made me mod my scoob as compared to standard it was faster.
But boy are they dull in doing it - quiet, characterless engine note, smooth power delivery - you only know your going fast by the speedo.
Forgot to add the other downside - the purchase price !!

Weight of S3 is 1455kg with 261bhp & 258lb/ft2 torque.
Weight of MY07 STI is 1495kg (!) with 265bhp out the box or 300ish with PPP ...
Suitably humbled
Weight of MY08 is 1530kg (!) although it does have 296bhp doesn't it?
TX.
PS
I'm OK though - Spec C would eat it
