Honestly as much as I love what they did to this RS3 performance-wise, I'd much rather they pissed off with that quirky light dance and gave me some decent materials near the center armrest. That cheap plastic isn't acceptable at this price point, especially not in a place you constantly touch.

I LOVE the Audi RS3! I've been a 5 cylinder engine fan since the late 80s early 90s Audi Quattro days. 2.2 liter 20 valve 5 cylinder, amazing power and even better sound. I was so excited when Audi realesed it again with the TTRS and RS3. This thing is a true pocket rocket with Forged internals and dual fuel system from the factory! This thing has 10 fuel injectors and is a easy E85 setup.

The Audi TTRS is one of my favourite Cars and if I could afford to get one from the Company that you can buy a totally Modified Car from them I definitely would (I'm pretty sure The Smoking Tire featured one once). I can't remember the name of the Company off-hand, but I know it's in the southern US I believe (perhaps Alabama or something like that). I might have to look at one of these RS3’s though. I have been waiting for Subaru to come out with a worthy all-new WRX STi, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen, so perhaps an Audi RS3 modded to about 700whp might be a smarter/more reliable purchase. But my Neighbour finally said I could buy his 2001 Chevrolet Shortbox Regular Cab with a 6.0L LQ9, LS3 Manifold, Brian Tolley Stage 3 Cam, HD Springs + Guides, 3600 Yank Converter, James Hetfield Built 4L80E, 3.73 Detroit Trutrack Posi, Caltrac Traction Bars, Full Stainless Works Exhaust with Long Tube Headers full 3-inch Piping, LS3 Manifold, Full Custom Driveshaft and HD Joints. It's just asking for a big Turbo so it’ll be my first project getting that put in it and then having a Cage built and Tubbed for some fat Mickey Tompson Drag Slicks and a narrow Axle before getting a new Car. It has Volk te37’s on it right now.

Take that record with a huge grain of salt. The laptime Audi is quoting was set by their own professional driver, while its competitors (notably the A45S) largely had their laptimes on that track set by press drivers, which just aren't on the same level. As a result if you check fastestlaps you'll notice that the A45S is quicker on most tracks where laptimes were set. Nurburgring is a very technical track and the driver matters _a lot_ there. What Audi is saying about that 'record' is incredibly misleading and more people should be aware.

I love this car and everything about it, but I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the black trim that surrounds the front grill. It gives the headlights a bit of a weird look with the way it sits around them. If they kept it hexagonal and left out the little piece that extends under the headlights (or maybe thinned it out a bit?), I think it might look a little better. Still, beautiful car inside and out, and the performance is seriously impressive, I'm happy to hear understeer isn't really a noteworthy problem on this particular Audi. Loving the showroom color they chose too! That limeish green is sick.

Canada is receiving the hatch back I believe. I don't like that weird kink in the front quarter panel that's just in front of the front door. At first glance it looks like the car has been in an accident and the quarter panel got dented. It definitely doesn't flow well with the rest of the lines along the car towards the rear. Honestly, Doug I'm surprised you didn't highlight this as a quirk!
