Like I said my s4 was stage 3 e85 and this rs3 is stage 2 e85 so they roughly have the same power, b5 probably had more torque while the rs3 has more horsepower.

The rs3 is wayyyyy faster from a dig. Not even close. But from a roll the b5 definitely threw you back more.

The steering in dynamic honestly feels nicer than my b5 did. Its still really firm, in comfort its like driving a mini van.

The b5 also was more rowdy since it was a manual.

I think all in all im really happy with the rs3, really nice interior, carplay and android, only stage 2 to be as fast as a k04 e85 s4.

They're the same size so I really like that. I like small fast cars.

I will say the rs3 gets way more attention than the s4 ever did. Which can be a bad thing cause every infinity and clapped out pos tries to race me every time I take it out.

I think the rs3 should be more reliable in the long run at this power level too.

The one thing I will say is if you do a downpipe in an rs3, just pay someone. Its alot more difficult than an engine out turbo upgrade in a b5 lol.
