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

The S3 is quick, but $4, 000 still doesn't get you a firing order of 1-2-4-5-3 and the phenomenal sound that accompanies it. Glad I made the switch.

In my opinion it would have made a lot more sense to spend the $1500 on an intercooler upgrade over the carbon Fiber intake. Modify the stalk box (as seen in many videos posted on YouTube ), upgrade the silicone hose and add the inlet elbow for $200. It was definitely heat soaking . Not to mention adding an aftermarket exhaust which would increase top End Performance for the S3 . The S3 Unitronic stage 2 TCU and ECU should be much closer if not beaten the RS3.

By far one of the best drag races, the similarities build suspense.

That S3 runs really strong with minimal mods...
Respect!
😎👍🏼

Audi's 5 Cylinder engines are the best 5 cylinders I ever heard... Especially the Quattro rally car.

[LuisGonzalez-fnhz]

You should do the same comparison except with an Audi A3(tuned) and S3(stock)

[christopherrice]

Impressive S3!!! Only thing that really kills it is a stage 2 tune plus extra mods on the RS3 and it's in another league.

i was thinking of buying an s3 cuz the rs3’s are expensive but the rs3 stock is already faster than an s3 that has like 430 horsepower, that 5 cylinder kills, and the rs3 transmission is one of the best in the world, definitely buying the rs3 soon

I have an S3 as well and I can tell the S3 in the video is heatsoaked after a few runs..we need that intercooler upgrade for our 4 bangers lol

That 5 cylinder RS3 sounds oh so good!!!

[MrMrvelous]

This was interesting to watch since I don't know any thing about each car. Both look like fun little Germans! Thx for uploading

My money is on the RS3. If S3 is only stage 2, it will not outrun the RS3.

[Beardchanics]

On paper the S3 Stage 2 should be quicker than the RS3 stock as it gets a better 1/4 mile times.
RS3 stock 1/4 mile is ~12.2s
400BHP S3 1/4 mile is ~11.6s (in mine at least so may depend on tune)

[gerhardjd]

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

[scottjohnson]

Completely dependent on the tuner and supporting mods.

[jorgerojas]

Good race and good comparison! Thanks for clearly going over the modifications on the S3, even if it's just an exhaust please inform us.

[wbwayne]

Never saw an Audi DCT that wasn't lightening fast in manual mode. I think the better deal would be the Standard S3 with the $4K in mods. That was obviously mod money well spent.

[aarond]

That tune was still impressive...this is another really good video!

[twnrbo]

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

[justinwoods]

200hp per liter with a tune is damn impressive
