RS3

Is there even a discussion with an inline 5 cylinder? That engine states the obvious. You DON'T want the other one and if you do, you probably din't drive the inline 5 :D

Bro, something is seriously wrong with the Golf R, my bone stock MK8 did 0-100 in 4.42. 😂

@Driver_88 5 ай бұрын

Poor surface I think, usually can expect it to match the RS3 0-100

4.24 for stage 2 golf is very slow. The DSG was slugish without TCU tune?

@Driver_88 5 ай бұрын

I didn’t run this one, this was on an average street surface, it didn’t feel sluggish though, the tcu tune should allow a more aggressive launch and be well into the 3s

@@Driver_88so if no problem with DSG the time looks even weaker. Still should be faster then rs3. With stock 8R i made few runs and it was 4.3, sometimes sub 4.3.

what tyres and what did you time it with

@piotrwozniak7840 5 ай бұрын

@@Driver_88stock Bridgestone summer tires, timed with ReDrive 20Hz device and it is pretty accurate tool. 1/4mile was 12.4 with 179kmh trap speed. It wasnt very hot and tires were cold. To be accurate the car had airtec intercooler and r600 intake (343hp on dyno vs 339,5 full stock). Now i am on stage 1+ racingline tune with dsg but didnt measured 0-100. Only 100-200 and car easily on winter tires did 8.8 so i hope for 3.5 (still little worried seeing 4.24 on stg2).

I've driven both, and the RS3 is far better in every way imaginable, and it sounds like nothing else!!

@layne4376 Ай бұрын

The lag is horrible on the RS3 and it is way more susceptible to heat soak

@@layne4376 So much fun to drive and literally 10x more enjoyable in every way imaginable to my M240i xdrive that sits beside it in the garage! I thought my bimmer was the ultimate driving machine until I bought the RS3, but the M240i serves as a spectacular daily driver with great wintertime capability! Love both platforms at the end of the day!!

Definitely the Golf R stage 2 with better torque, steering and handling.👌🏾And you keep some pocket money for nice things in life.😂

@Driver_88 5 ай бұрын

I guess it depends on whether you want to keep warranty or not. Handling and steering isn't terrible in the RS3 it has been faster than the R in 5 separate track tests run by magazines.

@Amsfxyz 2 ай бұрын

You said the turn in was better in the R, does the RS3 feel as nimble as the R? Or does R handle much better in comparison?

@Driver_88 2 ай бұрын

They are pretty similar I think, though having springs and more aggressive wheel alignment in the R made it feel more eager to turn in initially.

@@Driver_88 Can you do mid pipes on Aus spec cars? I thought that was a US only thing, because they don't have the OPF, instead they have a second set of Cats, so the mid pipes remove those secondary cats. You can't remove the OPF's without tuning the car in some way.

What exhaust kit does that golf have? Im toying with this exact issue now do I add some things onto the 8R to make it just a bit more, or try to trade in for an RS3 (although a pain to get here in aus atm)
