Default My new 2016 S3

A couple weeks ago I traded in a Ford Focus, Jeep Wrangler, 250 CC motorcycle and a trailer to get back into the Audi family... I'd previously had a few Audis, including a 2000 S4 that had the old TBB issue and blew up the turbos. It's good to be back in an Audi! This car is ridiculously fast...

Heh, I had MTM stage 2 on mine, full second computer just in case, sigh...

I immediately loved the S3 also, the size was just about what the B5 S4 was. So much trauma from those blown turbos

Not sure on tuning this one, we'll see. I'm three weeks and 1,200 miles in, and so far it's been plenty fast. I'm not too convinced that the extra power would be worth the worries. The stock S3 is already faster than my S4 ever was, I think it was down to something like 5.0 seconds 0-60, can't remember. It certainly pulls at least as hard as the S4 did.
