Audi RS3 faces tuned Audi S3, can it keep up? Drag and roll race! What $4k can do to an S3.

Qual o anos dos carros?

I don't understand the point of using any mode besides Dynamic. No one cares what these cars can do in comfort.

S3 or golf R?

The S3 is DCT too ......

Should be closer in my opinion

This is not a good representation of any of this. Both these men have atrocious reaction times. And not to be mean or rude. You cannot do performance tests with 250 + lb men.

When they big guy got in the rs3 he was so shook that the s3 was beating him wtffff 😂😂 he looked worried ass fuckk😂😂😂😂😂

However, the S3 is typically 110lbs lighter due to the smaller engine.

Prettt bad tune on the s3. Ive seen and even got friends with s3s, golf r's with a decent stage 2 that toy with stock rs3's

Should’ve been done with the A3 and the s3 since they both share a ea888..
most people like me spring for the A3 and build it up to 290hp for 4k as well

I like these models the best love the way they look

This shit is so funny to watch a bunch of dudes whos parents bought their cars modding the shit out of it just for it to blow up in 30k miles

Nah bull fucking SHIT. There is no way that RS3 is stock at least stage 1

Good topic thought your camera angle isn’t working 🫣

Ive been deep diving ito modifiying my 2018 audi s3 and for something like 12,000 you can take the S3 to equilibrium tuning and make the s3 a 710whp e85 chugging fire breathing monster.

I hope y’all see this, but it’s the gearing difference in the transmission, NOT THE power.
this is done on purpose to further distinguish the RS3 from a S3.

If you look at the gearing difference you’ll easily see.

IE stage 2 with Full E85 Flextune may paint a different picture IMO

Next time. Chat about the specs like real persons instead of the annoying 2 kids on 2 way radios.

would rather just get a CPO RS3 with warranty price difference vs. new S3 would be pretty close to tuning an S3 plus you look cooler with the nicer car vs. a sleeper that isn't always faster or overall is still slower.

5 cylinder is fantastic! But Audi chassis sucks! Too much weight on the front wheels. The 2.0 4 cylinder is not slouch and is lighter making it better for corners...

Wait until you require boost when in efficient mode, only just bought a 8V S3 310, and was going down the motorway, wanted to put the hammer down and it didn’t feel any different to my Ibiza FR 😂

power curve is likely different enough...5c are beasts, I know it😅

I have audi. S3

OMG, you've got to use LAUNCH MODE when racing. You hold the brake, stand on the throttle to get the revs and boost up, then release the brake when it's GO time.

So no intercooler on the S3? Normally you need that for stage 2.

We want to see more of Julia pls

S3 builds turbo pressure a lot faster, RS3 has a big turbo lag

buddy the grey hair on your head is slowing you down.... learn to drive a car you DAD

WAY TOO FOBBY

omg man keep the young guy in the rs3 ............. i can bet you every time they young guy would win. This guy white white hair has such bad reaction time

Tuning an S car is sooooo much smarter than buying RS

8Y S3 tuned keeps up way better than a stock RS3. The evo4 engine makes about 50 more hp than the 8V.

The camera angles don't really show you what's going on. Also the start person should raise their arms in stages so you can time the start better

The Audi RS3 still holds the world record for the fastest Audi car. That 5 cyl is absolutely nuts

I had a 10 sec Audi S4 on my channel for a little bit. 034 is tuning the RS5 this summer too. Audi is sick

RS3 & S3 a little underrated on both, even though the 5 cylinder lost a couple, it did win much more, the S3 had more peak torque but under curve the RS3 was clearly making more power through the RPM range giving it an edge in low to mid rpm. Once again amazing comparison, amazing show.

No timings made this kinda pointless. We need the timings to see the consistency

Haldex rear assist drive( wanna quattro)

I just got an 2015 A3 prestige. Now I want more hp and customization. I wonder can I get a pocket rocket out of it?

I want to seeth

I want to see stock both cars rs3 stock vs s4 stick and then rs3 tune vs S5 tune.also make the stinger vs s3

The S3 is putting 400hp to the wheels (unless they used an engine dyno, which I seriously doubt) while the RS3 has 400hp at the flywheel (engine). Not the same at all.

Exactly why I do not buy the RS3, unless I hear the exhaust it is difficult to know which is which. When you see an M2 pass by, you know it is an M2, not a 328 or a 335. I get it is one nice 5 pot bast of an engine, but that does not justify the pricetag with a S3 exterior.

You need better drivers 😂

I'd like to see them going around a track to see how the tuned S3 does without the torque splitter against the RS3. So many videos of straight line racing, but i can't find any time trials around a track comparing tuned S3 v RS3 stock. I have an S3 8Y and planning to get it tuned. May try a couple of track days before and after tuning to compare and upload the video.

no one brake boosted or activated launch control

Casting some lighter weight people would definitely help with the races..
