RS3 367 or 400hp? The M2C is stock?

Huh I thought the RS3 was pretty quick and should be close to the M2C

I think the M2C will be faster, but the question is are both stock?

They increased the hp on the 2019 RS3. That is what should be compared to a M2C.

Natural selection will weed out these people.

Keep it on the track/dragstrip - dumbasses !

No idea about the M2C or the RS3...the Golf R is tuned for sure

May be a pre 2017 model with 367 PS/270 kW and not the 400 PS/294kW version.

The other explanations are either the stock M2C has a much stronger top end despite with only a 10 PS advantage on paper or its been flashed with a CS or Stage 1 tune

I thought stock RS3 trap 1/4 mid 10s, no?

high 12s

If they did mid 10s, I'd overlook the numerous Audi faults and seriously consider an RS3

The R is definitely tuned since a stock R has 100+ hp less than the M2 and RS3.

Sorry to say, not even close.. In this first video, the Rs3 schools the Tesla model 3 long range awd, which in an earlier version, schools the M2C in the second.

hmm..the M2C they are using is a manual which means it'll be slower off the line without launch control. The fact that we are talking rwd vs awd too plays a huge factor plus many more other details. Maybe they should of done a rolling race?

On the street, you're not going to roll race at a stop light.

The AWD advantage is real for all of the street racers. The stop light drags are always fun in an AWD car.

One could say on the street you shouldn't do a drag race either. They are not on a street..

I'm pretty sure they generally trap low 12's stock but plenty of owners have broke 11 at sea level on 93 octane stock. It's not even debatable that it's in a different league than the M2C in a straight line as it can hang with the big dogs. Only problem for that car is when corners are introduced.

I was merely regurgitating Car and Driver test data who is notorious for achieving really good results as compared.to other journalists.
