I currently have an immaculate 1997 A4 1.8T Sport and am now considering changing it for an S3 around 2000 to 2002 reg. I have a few questions.
Does this car use the same engine as the A4 I have (Upgraded obviously)?
Does the 4WD hack off some of the performance to a noticeable extent?
What sort of performance increase from my A4 can I reasonably expect?
Would a better bet be to throw some money into the A4 and modify it?
If I get an S3 should I just be aware of the usual stuff that affects the A4 or are there other common pitfalls waiting?
I am just looking really for some general opinions on how good the S3 is by comparison. If the car is a flyer and good reports then i will make it my choice and start the search.
Cheers if you can help with any of these queries. Most of the stuff i read seems to address the 2004+ version of this car.
