[Rome_BRZ]

A good running healthy GTB post face will walk all over the above

Mick they are far from weak ...

All cars have their factory faults

My opinion

Walk all over what? 0-100 S3 wins, around a track, S3 still wins, interior, S3 is much more refined albeit simple, and options/features leave the Liberty for dead.

Different price range, different market.

Moving on...

Haha that was more aimed at NewbieGT, but no worries!

Tell me about it! I thought waiting 3 months for the BRZ was bad!!

[Newbie GT]

Good luck Rome im sure you will enjoy s3 just a big wait !

Ultimate machine c63 haha

[GONEWALKABOUT]

3 months and then once you get it they tell you not to go over 5k rpm or hard shift as a break in for another 1000kms

Perils of buying a new car

Ultimate machine c63 haha

And only a Smidgen over 70K

Rome - it will be a little while until the s3 can beat your old lib around a track That car was special in its own right!

I agree 100%. Still miss it so much

Although there's an APR tune I can get for the S3 that puts the 0-100 time under 4 seconds

Will do. Was just something I was reading up on. If I was going to get someone to actually tune it, it would be someone that I know

APR is not worth the effort.

You have to commit to buy all the supporting mods from APR which isn’t cheap ($1200 for an intake $3000+ for TBE, then $2000 for flash……

Plenty of other tuning options out there

Will be interesting to see what you think of the S3 Rome, I've been looking closely at them lately.
Unfortunately I will have to wait until the new model comes down a bit in used car prices. The 8P (06-12) didn't change much since 06 and really is an outdated car.

If the 8V is still as good as it looks today in about 2 years It may be my car of choice.

Agreed. Shop around. The packages are old and have no updating despite software developments.

FYI: My wifes new toy is doing consistent 3.2's on E85 since it does mid 4's from factory with torque/boost limited 1st/2nd gears on 98 fuel. Will be pissed off if she gets a 10 second pass with just a dump pipe, E85 and tune

APR is highly recommended worldwide, but sadly in Australia the national dealer is known to be a complete arse which can also lead to issues with customer service if you have a problem. And those prices are ridiculous!

My golf R is Driver Motorsport tuned - lead calibrator left APR and started his own company.
GIAC, Revo, E-tuners are also highly recommended in Aus, and have a far better track record.

My R does consistent 0-105 in 3.9 with a 2+ tune, its great!
You’ll love the S3, especially with DSG, its epic!
stage 3 turbo kit for a 2.0t engine with stock internals will give you a 10 second car, i wonder how long it’ll take you?
