9 second RS3

[JerseyDrew77]

Came across this video and found it interesting, pretty nice looking RS3 as well.
What kills me is that he downgraded his brakes for weight reduction purposes.

It's a long video, almost 20 minutes, so if you want to just see the 9 second pass it's at the end.

Vanacity makes some great vids. Doesn’t BS. Check out his channel.

Oh and he also responds to comments.

His goal is to go fast in a straight line. If you're serious about that, small brakes are a necessity.

That's why I didn't get the Performance Package. Yeah...uh.....it's superior for roll racing.

Approximately how much weight would he have saved with the brakes?

On our car 30lbs going from pp to nonpp.

I don't care how much they save, to me brakes are one of the most important upgrades you should do when your car is making a shit ton of power.

plenty of cooldown space fter the race. Lots of rotating mass reduced. Who gives a crap 9 seconds is awesome. Also been watching that channel lately, so much 5cyl greatness happening in the audi world!

I agree. This isn't a track-only car, he's driving it on the street. A stock R braked from 60 in only 90 feet when tested. What will his RS3 do it in?
