S3s running a simple tune only are running 0-100 times in the 3 second bracket..

Interior is a much nicer place to be in an 8v s3 also!
That is true.. however for me the 0-100s were the only appealing part of the car - which wasnt enough for me to stay in it.
I'm curious what the disappointing factors were for you?
From what I've read these 8V S3/Mk7 R engines produce about 240-250kw to the wheels with just a tune. That's mental for a stock 2L (excluding the A45 of course).
