Yes, what is so hard to understand? A3/S3 are basically ~same except for a couple items that end up getting changed in any real build. Plus A3 is cheaper to insure LOL

i guess, just seems like pissing away money :plac: move
Quite the opposite. It would’ve cost me another $25k+ to get my S3 to the same level as the A3 currently is.

Also you do not know what I paid for the A3 so how would you possibly be able to evaluate the financial impact of purchasing this car?

Correct. He is currently breaking in the new engine, running a conservative 700whp break-in tune LOL

Well, the S3 was a lease that I got out of cleanly, and I recouped ~70% of the parts monies. I bought the A3 used (obviously) for a good deal.

But please tell me how I’m pissing away money.

Good luck managing this car but I don’t see the need/want for 700hp into a car. :iono:

If they offer you free parts/labor as a sponsorship then that’s 5/7 but I wouldn’t do it as my daily.

Then it makes even less sense to do with a 4-door economy car. Why not buy something that's actually fast to begin with?
