AUDI S3 FAST?
Hiya,
Had a little run in with an Audi S3 thrashed to an inch of its life... with smoke coming out of the back every gear change... with a complete idiot of a driver cutting evryone up... I was suprised by its handling and power though? I didn't think they were all that ?
Apparently four wheel drive and easy to upgrade power ?
Nice enough cars I suppose, better interiors maybe? 'Slightly lacking character in my opinion' I like them classic scoobies...
A nice police police man once advised me, if you ur gonna drive like a complete **** do it in the national speed limits not the 30s....
I'm looking forward to upgrading 300bhp+ and following his kind advice...

They have a 4wd system similair to honda, it goes into full 4wd when it senses slip or a specific speed. The engines are superb, **** all over the impreza flat four for reliability. But the handling is far from the best and gearboxes are pants. Bit of a scooby/Evo wannabe, but will never be. Oh and HORRENDOUSLY expensive when things go **** up

They aren't all that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sowNOfZcKTQ
RS4 may be a different story though.

Assuming it's a MK1 S3; I had a TT which is essentially the same running gear in a different shell. The engines are bombproof up to 330 bhp after that you need to upgrade the internals.
Getting to 265-280 is easy, cat back, induction, remap, J-Valve and you'll hit 265-270 but some do hit the 280's
Once you want more it's hybrid turbo time and to get to the 330 it's big turbo time and if memory serves me right it's a £4500 all in job. There was a guy on the TT forum who was up to 450 ish I think but he had spent an insane amount of money.
I traded it in as my torque convertor went and it was going to be £1750 plus VAT plus fitting........
The newer ones with the 2.0 TSi engines can be mapped to 305 cheaply and I'm sure Star Performance were offering a program to take it to 330 for £100 more.
They handle pretty well and the haldex 4 wheel drive controller works pretty well. You can upgrade that as well to a more aggressive one for around £500. I'd say in standard form or mildly mapped they might keep up with an Impreza depending on model etc. However I think where they struggle is to get the bigger numbers for sensible money and if one came up against a modified Scooby it'd be toast.
