Some of you old timers will remember all those debates we have had. Some of you might even remember that 2.0T vs 3.2 review I posted (on vortex). Some said it was biased, some thought other wise. So here's a more "objective" review from Automobile about a Chipped 2.0T GTI vs the 3.2 R32.

Very similar to my review, in a straight line, the chipped 2.0T is a beast. That 7 second difference to 130 mph is really impressive. But on the other hand, on the track, that power/torque of the 2.0T just adds to the understeer and wheel spin, where the R32 is much easier to drive.

Good read.


P.S. Chef, I'm still waiting for our date up North.

 

::sigh::... this debate would be solved quickly if Audi would give us the 2.0T w/ Quattro[:@]

BTW, your link doesn't work.

 

fixed.

And the 2.0TQ is coming in 2009. Pretty reliable source. Then again, 2010 will be next generation. Audi should bring over the S3, period.

 

Chef is currently broke, saving money for the house being built. Definitely a good read and seems like a reasonably accurate test. Quattro is a big advantage on a tight track.



Cheers!

 

All i would like audi to do to the A3 is give it 300 hp and quattro, that will be inline to compete with subaru, mitsubishi, BMW, and dodge.

 

totally agree on that one stryker

 

Let's hope they give the S3 9P with the S4 B8 engine... Twin Turbo 6 cyclinder... mmmmm... And bring it over to NA.

 

No mention of the dump valve...am i reading this correct?

Can you get away with this?

 

Isn't that called the A4?
