STM's new 2015 Audi S3

Emery drove this straight from the dealership and parked it on the dyno. We should have an intake kit released this week!

We will keep track of all the mods and weights and dyno comparisons as we go.

Badass. I've been seriously looking at these or a new Golf R so I can retire the Evo from daily use. Need to make more money though lol

Its actually not, its the same/similar chassis as the Golf R, which starts at $36,700 I think. Which is about the same as the 2015 Evo X gsr msrp. The S3 starts at $41,100 I think. So only a $4k premium to get into an audi over a VW. BUT, the S3 and Golf R have an auto at those prices, so compare it to an Evo X MR, and its killing the MR for the price, with the WAY better interior you're getting...

According to STM's last IG post, it made 234whp/247wtq 100% stock. Not bad on a mustang dyno.

I don't, but VAG notoriously under reports power figures, so I wouldn't doubt that those are ~10% higher than an Evo X...

The S3 is approx 3400lbs.

The drivetrain and chassis sharing Golf R is approx 3300lbs.

Not bad for a four door awd car. Light than a Evo 10, that's for sure.

234whp/247wtq for the Audi S3 and 239whp/251wtq for the Evo are pretty good numbers for stock cars.
