Just like to say a big Thanks to Clay for doing the video great work mate really appreciate it. In the next one I’ll let you drive I’ll be the camera man 😁

Nothing beats the RS3 for value for money and performance for dollars spent!

[@gavinr9107]

@@user-ke1qj7up3e I don't think you quite understand the context of what I am saying (I am not referring to a 1000hp example) - a lightly modded RS3 with basic bolt on's gives supercar rivalling performance for a fraction of the price.

Killer car for the money that’s for sure!👌

The DAZA engine is by far my favourite engine to date. Fun fact, the new KTM Xbow GT XR uses this engine in a fully carbon fighter jet style body.. one can only dream. 😅

Aww man that's cool he's the mechanic! That saves a TON of $$ on builds like this. Super clean and awesome! I have Alzor wheels for my Winter set that look like his rims. I actually like them better than the stock rims. Way to get some nice external driving shots.

[@chrisdedes2352]

[@chrisdedes2352]

I’m going to comment not because he tuned my car and the countless hours he has spent on it with the tunes on the OEM ECU, DS1 and the syvecs Look at the rest of his work. His was well known in the USA before here. His been involved in motor racing for years supports multiple racing teams in the world and has taken the MBQ platform to a different level. They hold a few world records the guy is a genius. On that note I still want to go off at him his a tuner wouldn’t have it any other way 🤣🤣

I would love to do this to mine eventually. Ultimate would be a wagon/hatch as well, unfortunately Canada never got the hatch version. THE definition of a hot hatch for sure!

[@knight2425]

The RS3 is a very underrated car, people that don’t know them have no idea what they are capable of. The downside to older models is they don’t have the handling to go with their speed but the current is so much better, just need to be able to tune them and then you’re in heaven

[@googboog]

The RS3 is the best sleeper of this decade. Get one before it achieves legendary status

People who build cars like this are not right in the head

[@chrisdedes2352]

Your not wrong I agree with you 🤪

[@lincolntighe5836]

You claimed it was 1000hp in the thumbnail. It’s never made 1000 based off the dyno photo inserted in the video. and it was on a bigger turbo than in the video.

[@chrisdedes2352]

It’s actually made 786kw at the wheels on the 7275 gen 2 and on this turbo 671kw so has the car made 1000hp yes and many can verify it! Dyno numbers don’t mean anything as I’ve raced cars with 1200hp at the wheels and can’t keep up.

From a video editing perspective: your cuts are really jarring, almost epilepsy inducing jarring. I'd recommend having some sort of fade between your two clips, even if it's really short, or lengthening the clips themselves.

Not a nightmare for a 2000hp GTR ….. more a walk in the park

[@jimbo_dilly1675]

And a 2,000hp B-series Civic will beat the GTR. The difference is that there are very few GTRs running around with over 1,000hp that are owned by customers rather than shops. While Iroz motorsports has been churning out two 1000+hp RS3 builds every two weeks for years now. I see way more built RS3 than GTRs, and I own an AMS built GTR.

Rs3 is not a sleeper

[@dash-kt7uf]

Nothing exciting about this. You can buy off the shelf kits from IROZ, tuned on a Syvex ECU that gives you 1100whp plus. Been done for years. There are sick street RS3’s in the USA. The fastest do 2.9 60-130mph on the street. They are definitely a nightmare for GTR’s or any car considering the world street record is a 2.3 (held by an R8). Audi’s ain’t messing with anyone on the streets in the USA.

[@LDrift]

Sure mate, sure. You can go ahead and jump back in your Mom's SUV now.

[@Fasstv8]

That aint going 8s lmao more like 9.4 or 9.7

No but i think if you Tune a GTR a little its faster, so its not a GTR nightmare :)

[@chrisdedes2352]

It’s my nightmare that’s for sure 🤣 I’m sure Clay is using Banta and I wouldn’t compare my car to a 8 and 7 sec GTR . I’ve race a couple close to the power we make I’ve won and lost it’s all about fun and I’m sure there is a few faster RS3s than mine!

[@teangawarumatetaka6125]

RS3 isn't a sleeper at all.

[@luvondudula1058]

This one is a sleeper to super cars

[@teangawarumatetaka6125]

Still not a sleeper. Can't use the term loosely. Anyone looking at these immediately thinks "Fast".

[@luvondudula1058]

In this case the term sleeper is not used loosely, 1000bhp is very fast and can certainly not be expected from RS3

[@teangawarumatetaka6125]

A sleeper is a car that doesn't sound or look fast. Your using the term loosely and basing it on personal preference. It doesn't matter if an RS3 isn't expected to make 1000hp, at the end of the day it still looks and sounds fast. Examples of sleepers would be Ford G6et, E90 335i, Toyota Aristo, JZX100. In stock exterior trim they all look like Nana cars.

[@luvondudula1058]

A sleeper is a car that is not expected to produce a certain amount of power for an example a GTI is also a sleeper if it is midified because it is deemed slow...so i say it again this RS3 is a sleeper to someone who drives a super car
