I got an email from Audi about setting up a test drive for the 2018 RS3. I went ahead and went to their website to check out the configurator.
I noticed the Dynamic Package includes wider tires on the front than the rear (unless typo?), I know the VW/Audi AWD systems tend to be FWD biased, but I don't think I can remember ever seeing a car with wider front tires than rear?

I do believe the build thread already got updatedWagons cost too much for what they are. Getting a manual was a requirement for me, so yeah.. this manual sedan cost less than half of what manual wagons are selling for.. Even an auto wagon would've been another easy $12k+ more than what I paid for the sedan. I couldn't justify it, but yes wagons are baller.

$29k is what we settled at
screaming deal for a Manual Sedan with 66k and 750whp that can comfortably seat 5 IMO.. i was getting 10 mpg on the tail, and 17mpg hwy with it during the majority of the 1600 miles i put on it in the last 4 days

I'm back to stupid ideas again.
I'm thinking BMW M2 w/DCT, or lightly used Cayman S (981) w/PDK.
No point in the SS 1LE of the GT350 if it's only going to go to the track a few times per year.

I drove one before I snagged my 335 and was really underwhelmed. It wasn't slow persay, but for 550 on tap it wasn't nearly the thrill I had anticipated. It also felt rather "boat-like" for lack of a better term. The stench of covered up cigarette smell wasn't pleasing either. Were my expectations too high, or does it sounds like I test drove a poor example?
