I have owned and tracked quite a few my previous cars being a mk5 r32 and a s3, the s3 is obviously the better of the pair due to the heavy lump. However the s3 just isn't as nimble as the track rocco. I know it's different as its pretty much race spec, I would say put a standard s3 and a standard rocco together and I'd fancy the s3 obviously, but when we're on these type of forum people aren't interested in standard just the mods etc if you know where I'm coming from. :happy2:

totally agree with everything you have said there pal, the spec you of your rocco is a different leaque all together. I wasn' trying to say the S3 is better than the GTI or rocco, I just don't agree with some of the other things that were being said about the haldex set-up, I think alot of peoples opinions are based on hear say not experience, as yours are. On the same note I'm sure a box fresh S3 wouldn't be as happy on the track as my mildly modded car, apart from the brakes :smiley:

I'd say yours is a little more than mildly modded! :wink: you've done arbs, coilies, brakes, and lots of engine goodies haven't you?

busted :smiley:, as I've said my point was the opinions made not from experience, at the end of the day the haldex set-up only adds 75kg by all accounts, the weight of a short stocky mancunian.

Audi offer a Sports Differential to their quattro system on the S4 and that certainly contributes greatly to the handling and importantly its feel. But is this optional extra available for the smaller S3 platform?
