So Who Have You Raced?

[Crowlski]

Curious as to who you've raced, was the other ride stock? How'd it end up?

I get a fair amount of challengers from time to time and most of the time, like 99%, I don't bite. I'm getting older I guess but most who want to run I feel, I'd beat (older WRX's, new Mustang GT's...) there's been a handful that I think would have walked my RS3 as well. So I'm interested hearing what you're experiences are.

Way too busy running country back roads 10am-2pm as weather permits, in our 2019 RS 3.
Soon to be 83 years old I've had my fill of 'street racing' which I gave up 50 years ago, when
I discovered what country back roads had to offer, in terms of actually helping a driver better
understand and appreciate his vehicle and his own skills level as we work on them. And our
2019 Audi RS 3 is certainly a vehicle that will teach you many things, if you actually look
for them and improve them. A great automobile indeed!

Agreed. I guess what I am getting at is I'm curious because my 2022 is definitely the fastest car I've ever owned and I'd like to know what others experienced against the competition out there.

I mean, around town, there's really nothing that I can't at least keep up with. Obviously if I was out on the freeways doing the controlled 40,50,60 rolls, there would be plenty of cars out there that would smoke me. I've never been dusted while just out and about on daily errands and catch a light with something quick. Even the 10 or so streetbikes I've run have been close to 70 or 80mph. It's actually more fun in the Tesla because it's so easy to take off from a stop, and people are much more surprised.

I had a guy in a newer Mustang GT try to get me to race him a few weeks ago and what stuck out with me was he either didn't know how to drive or it seemed slow off a dig. He power shifted 2nd and all. I didn't race him, just not interested risking arrest or worse but my younger side was thinking I could have made him look silly by the time I hit the speed limit.

Here are a few examples of cars I've matched up really well against.

[Hollingsworth]

One Sunday on the way home from church I raced, and was truly amazed that I managed to beat, this super fast looking Honda Civic. It wasn’t just any Civic though, but an Si, and it was really fast looking with an exhaust tip as big as a coffee can, a giant wing, a real tow hook sticking out of the front bumper, all kinds of racing stickers all over it (I bet he was being sponsored by all those companies!) and some really fancy chrome wheels....

Funny how over time your experiences and perspective changes. Back in the 2000-2010 time frame i felt like everyone wanted to race and people were looking for street races. Today i dont see anyone around me actually wanting to race. Im older and more mature now, and not out late at night, but i dont even see people trying to race me or see people racing each other for that matter.

I dont know if it is because im out of the loop, much like i am on many things trendy these days, or if street racing is dying off.

But man those were some fun times amongst the action back then.

Cars are just insane now. Everyone who wants one can pretty easily have a sub 4 second 0-60 car at this point. Racing used to be more fun because it took longer, lol. I had a supercharged 2000 Mustang GT that was making 341rwhp and it was insane. I was running 14.1 in it before the blower, and maybe 12.7 after, iirc, but almost nothing could keep up other than Supras, z28s and c5s.

Then again, even though we have faster cars now, they also have better brakes, suspension, nannies, etc etc.

[NapalmEnema]

Car is brutal fast anything that thought it had a chance, did not in fact have a chance. I know the car can be even faster with mods, but for city streets and even occasional track use this thing is just a sledgehammer.

I haven't had too many people bite but, I've raced a few cars.

MKV Supra: FBO, E85, Drag Pack. He made somewhere north of 500whp.
2018+ Mustang A10 (two of them): Whipple, full exhaust. Neither discussed how much power they made but, they moved out pretty good. Probably 700+whp.

I was supposed to race a 700+whp MKV Supra, a 1000whp MKIV Supra and a 700whp (ish) C6 Corvette over this last weekend but, weather didn't cooperate. There are quite a few people in my area eager to give me an L but so far, they haven't succeeded. At first, the sentiment was that my car "ain't shit." Now, they're calling out all of their friends with the really high-powered setups to put me in my place. What's surprising about all that is, I'm pretty damn chill and I typically get along with everyone. But there's a few folks who seem to be determined or really upset about the situation.

Not a 0-60 car my friend it's more of an autocross specced car - that's where it shines. 2nd gear on it's a freakin monster - have 2021, had a 2019, and it is the most fun car in my garage if that says anything. Over the RS3 - over my M2. Go figure lol!

That is true, the stock block is incredibly strong on the Type R but just saying stock for stock, it's not a 'slow' car, unless your only measure is 0-60 then yes it's a slow car lol.

Some folks are immature. Some of them have more money than others while being immature. Dont sweat it. Just be glad your life doesnt revolve around winning/losing and talking smack about street races, that would be pretty pathetic. Keep enjoying your car and havin fun

That's just 3 seconds slower than what was posted for a 2022 RS3 around that track. 7min 40.748sec

Super slow!

P.S. That was the 2017 - the 2020 and 2021 have an improved suspension and dampening system which would improve things as well

I don't think anyone would deny the performance of the Type R with respect to its lap times and it being FWD. But it's not a quick car in a straight line at all and I think that's the dig on it. It doesn't have to be, per se but, often times that's what people like to benchmark. When I had my ZL1 1LE and my C7 Z06, absolutely no one cared about how fast it was around a track (whereas I did), all they asked me about was their 0-60 and quarter mile times. Both cars, I would argue, were significantly more fun to drive in general than my TT is. But my TT is drastically faster than both cars were in a straight line. I think the next car I get, which will most likely be a Porsche GT car, will be a completely track oriented toy, making no apologies for which and hopefully, it will avoid most questions about those metrics.

Agree and well said. I like all different types of cars that are strong in different ways - M2 has most punch off the line of my stable, then the RS3 is luxury blistering performance, and the Type R is the scalpel / very fast where it's strongest between turns and such. But yeah the 0-60 blows - I joke with my wife that I'll never line it up with her and the RS3 because I would get depressed lol! Play to each cars strengths imo that's where the fun lies and where true appreciation for that particular vehicle comes in. You wouldn't enjoy a Type R in a straight line - 100% - but if I gave you one and set you loose on a track or nice canyon / mountain run? My friend - I'd have a Honda believer of you as I have had a 100% conversion rate amongst my friends that were initially luke warm to say the least on the Type R lol.

I actually only got one because I test drove one used because I couldn't believe all the positive praise around one from magazine reviews, then that Nurburbring time - walked away like 'man I shouldn't have done that' and got a 2019 a short while later.

Love your full send approach though your acceleration must be INSANE!! (post some vids of your car if you have any!)

Oh absolutely not. The civic r has a lap time that is 4.2 seconds faster than the TTRS in the Nurburging which is undoubtedly impressive but now the new RS3 is faster than the civic by 3.052 seconds. Either way, who here is taking an empty race track to work, the grocery story, or anywhere for that matter? Nobody and at no point would I ever drive my car on public streets like I’m on a racetrack: drag or road. On the street the cars ability to accelerate is what makes it fast not its ability to turn in my opinion. Porsche GT is undoubtedly fast

[TheContrarian]

At the drag strip, I beat a Trackhawk twice with a stage 1 tune and an CTS intercooler/intake. No idea if the Trackhawk had anything done but its a >100k car (CAD) with 700 hp. Must have been a humiliating experience for the owner.

Admittedly, I don't think my 60-130 is all that fast but, I'm smart enough to realize that it's quicker than a whole lot of cars out there. Would I ever want to run a 3.1X on the street? No. I don't think that's my bag. But I can attest that my trap speed indicates that I should be able to run a fairly comfortable 8-second quarter mile but, to achieve that on the street is a whole other thing. It's an absolute struggle to get a street tire to hook at these power levels on an unprepped surface. Especially with our cars and it's FWD-bias AWD system. I'm cutting 120ish mph in the 8th and only picking up about 30mph on the back half with a hybrid. Nonetheless, there are a large handful of RWD guys I know who are running similar power to me and are able to put the power down at the track and get 8's, even with a slightly lower trap speed. The difference is, we can muster mid-9's on street tires on a whim with no prep but trap in a way that would indicate we are 8-second capable. It's really all about knowing the car and your competition.

Like, I know as a previous C7 Z06 owner, that I'm not playing the same game as a C7 Z06 w/ a ProCharger F1-X. But a mid 4-second 60-130 is enough to not make it look like I'm getting slaughtered by most cars, even if they are quicker. It's that general usability that I was after. Also, roll racing is so much easier on your driveline components--even if you are using RAL.

I would love to line up against some supercars (huracan, aventador, mclarens, turbo s, etc.) to see how I would fare against them in a roll race but just haven't had the chance to find any who would be willing to. Granted, I also don't drive my TTRS as often as I could.
