M2 vs Audi S3 [ex-formula one driver doing laps]
I know, I know, they are not in the same category.
I think it's just fun to watch these two cars driven by a former formula one driver on a track. The driver name is Rubens Barrichelo. He was Schumacher's teammate for many years at Ferrari M2 power lap: skip to 9:19 S3 lap: skip to 6:18 Last edited by rainfall; 12-15-2016 at 12:39 AM.. |

[No snark intended]
If forum members don't know who Rubens is they should sell their BMW & buy a Camaro or Charger & go practice left turns. |

He tested the MK7 GTI and said that it doesn't always give the gear you want on the track] |

I drove an S3 about 2 years ago, it was very nice, but the update was close behind, and after seeing the electronics and the performance of the new A4 (not the S4) I quickly lost interest in the S3. The A4 with the 2.0 liter turbo was quicker, and much nice overall. I gave up on waiting for the new S4/S5 and I have not even looked at AUDIUSA to see if it is even out yet! LOL. Supercharge back to Turbo? I don't know.....LOL....
Both the S3 and M2 are great cars, I'd be happy with either. Mike
