The RS3 driver got the jump ahead of the Cayman at start (looks like a 718 S with design body kit). Crossing the line the Porsche was hitting 113.2mph at 12.28 secs, Audi 110.19 at 12.24 secs. If the Porsche driver had better reactions he would clinched it.

Equal start for the cayman and it would have been a done deal-Great launch by the Audi

I did 11.8 at 117 in a stock RS5 B9. Sold my RS3 and had 12.1 at 113 stock. My 2016 911 4s did 11.7 at 118. These are all quick cars. Rather have the Cayman over the RS3.

Wow, so close! Just 0.04 s difference.

Audi had a much better launch, know why? That porsche doesn't have launch control and the audi does. Porsche closed the gap for sure.

Why did the trackman set the Cayman 6" further up?

My old tuned light bolt on Foc ST could run even with a stock Foc RS in rolls.

RS3 much faster ... better try Cayman vs Golf GTi

Everyone with common sense knew the RS3 would muller that cayman! The S3 is a better match!

Audi 3 series cars are slugs stock. I tested a S3 the other day. The turbo lag was unreal in every drive mode. S3 can't hit 60 mph in under. 5.3 sec. RS3 is around 4.4 sec to 60 realistically. Most magazines over state the acceleration stats to help sell the brand or model. I know this, because I worked for one. MotorWeek is one of the mosycreliabkr sources of acceleration stats out there. So too are some European magazines. Case in point, of the 8 magazines that tested the new 2018 turbo Civic Type R, they all got 0 to 60 mph of 5.5 to 5.7 sec, but either Car&Driver or MotorTrend got a 4.9 sec run. They all got 13.6 to 13.8 @105 mph 1/4 runs, but again one US mag got 108.7 mph in the 1/4.
