I really like the new R8 Plus. I'm thinking of selling the GTR in a couple years and getting one myself.

Only Audi I would trade RS7 for would be an RS3 and that would be tough. R8 is meh IMO. I would take a built RS3 and cash over R8.
A modded RS3 is disgusting!!! Love those things.
Would make a lot of other cars look slow. And, it's only a 5 cylinder. lol

I was watching some street racing vids over the weekend and was depressed to see numerous built gt500s get owned by an rs3 with tune and bolt ons. That is a sick car.

It is. Modded and on E85 is a killer combo on that thing. Moves out quick.
Check out the Malaka Motorsport/Iroz videos on Youtube.

Have/had both an rs3 and a rs7 but sold the rs3, was more of a kids car imo, also wished it had a better diff setup to have a little more fun, regardless they are fast it just felt like a fwd golf to me. So I still have my rs7 and don't want to part with it. Its modded how I like it and really hard to beat on the road for what it is. Had a r8 v10 and it was very fun, the newer ones are pretty impressive. Very different cars but you can go wrong if you keep your rs7 either ;-) Best of luck which ever direction you go.

This is interesting to hear. I’m looking to possibly trade my hellcat for an rs3. Not getting rid of my rs7. Sick of letting the dodge sit 6 months out of the year here, useless in the cold. Would be looking to drive the rs3 all winter. I miss having a sub-4000lb car.

I was thinking about doing the same . The biggest dilemma for me is that the stock one is too slow and it takes a pretty big coin to get them quicker

They run pretty hard for a minimal mods . My good friend has one , it went 10.6 with few boltons . We made few 1/4 mile hits the other day in 31* weather on Michelin winter tires , car was hitting 10.8-11.00 . He had bunch of high RWD cars before and doesn't miss them at all . He said the RS3 is so much more practical and fun to drive then any of his previous cars
