had a play with an audi a3 20T against my Z today on a private course i used to use and it was quite an interesting result.

 

this guy really wanted to play 1st gear neck and neck 2 gear he started to pull away but when i shifted into 3rd i nearly rammed the fooker up the arse. the a3 seemed to loose puff by the time he hit third.

 

when i pulled over i even noticed i had the aircon on so it was sapping power from there.

 

 

imo the a3 is a good shopping car. :rofl: :rofl:

 

btw for those who don't know i am only a NA swb manual

specs on the a3

 

0 to 62 mph (secs) 7.1

Engine Power - BHP 200

Engine Power - KW 147

Engine Power - PS True

Engine Power - RPM 5100

Engine Torque - LBS.FT 207

Engine Torque - MKG 29

Engine Torque - NM 280

Engine Torque - RPM 1800

Top Speed 146

 

 

all i could see was that it had a red badge on the front of it so i don't know if it was the quattro spec or not . these are for the standard 20T

7 sec 0-60 you should have raped it quite comfortably. perhaps you missed a gear ;)

Hi,

Followed an S3 back from Peterborough on Saturday.I don't know if it was the 200bhp or 225bhp version, but it did have some mid range punch!

I was behind him all the way to the A14 and every time he overtook some traffic, I followed suit....Mine's a 300zx NA too btw.
