We had a Mk7 Golf R with the software tweaked to always have the Haldex clutches engaged to avoid needed to spin the front wheels before the rear wheels had drive, but it was always obviously FWD biased in handling. Audi has done the same trick with the current car as the previous in running a wider front than rear tyre (265 vs 245mm wide) to try and quell some of the understeer. The actual loading per mm of tread width on the front tyres is higher on the RS3 than on the G87 |

I was also considering an RS3 before I picked up my G87, but test drives were impossible and I was told 2+ years for a car. Has that changed?[/QUOTE]
I’m on Audizine going thru a big order thread. I think you’re right, they are hens teeth. Something else I read today that worries me is there are less than 1500 cars in the USA. Even a small parking lot hit that takes out a light/fender etc could be HUGE downtime. I’m going to travel the country in this car, it’s gotta be mass produced, I’ll need that big dealer support. I appreciate your thoughts on preferring the M2, especially coming from the R, a fav of mine.
