2006 S3

[AquaS2]

The new S3, 260 odd brake, 0-60mph shade under 6 seconds, some sources say 5.5 seconds, making it a pretty swift car to say the least!

Someone i know actually bought 1 as soon as they were out, rarely see the guy, so i cant say how good it is on the road, in the real world compared 2 our S2's as standard/stock

Although remapping the ECU on the S2 should defo give it the upper hand in the straight line speed..

Anyone driven the new S3 then? Good/bad/average?

More thrilling than the 5 pot old skooler?:mischeif:

Cheers lads/lass'

The 2.0TFSI power plant has potential, MTM claims 330bhp with modified ECU and bigger exhaust!

[AquaS2]

Well yeah MTM can do wonders, but anyone had experience with the S3? Would you have one over an S2 purely on the power and handling basis...Not creature comforts etc cos that's got a pretty awesome inside

How many torques does it have? 350Nm?

I like the "normal" TFSI engine so the new S3 should be awesome. Just can't figure out why isn't DSG available. That would make me want one.

Yes mate, 350 NM Pretty much same as the ABY until over booost:mischeif:
But the S3 is lighter i presume, so power to weight surely in its favour eh?

They will prob offer that in a later edition i guess
