New tech vs old tech. Guy in cobra was driving the heck out of it. Audi = hit the pedal boom 10s. Amazing.

those new rs3's are nasty with just bolt ons, a few I believe have hit the 10.3 range at 133+ with stock turbo, drop in turbo a few are in the 9's on the stock longblock...tempting for a daily but still keeping my cobra

Nice find OP!
I've liked those RS3's as soon as they came out. That's nasty with just a tune and minor bolt-ons!

I've owned both an rs3 and a few (3) 03 cobra's. Both are so different, just didn't like the diff setup in the rs3, wasn't as fun as it could be, if Audi only put a proper diff in them it would have been scary fun too ;-) but what do you expect for 60K Audi lol. And I totally agree, that cobra was moving out son!

54k for the RS3. Seems a little expensive but it is a Audi. The driver in the cobra was impressive, I would still rather have the cobra any day.

Where do you see that? I was literally just pricing these and they were all 65k to 73k. No ****ing way I will be getting one.
Pause the video at 15 seconds, it says base MSRP is 54k. Not sure if that's what that guy paid for it lol.
