Id have the R32 for the looks and soundtrack.

Personally i would'nt want to be spending thousands on getting an extra 140bhp+ out of either of those cars with 80k+ on the clocks unless you have a bottomless pit of cash 
I'd have the R32 though as preffer them to the S3(8L tunned to 290bhp) i had a few years back

What year is the S3? Just asking as being on the audi forum for a year when someone had bought a "cheap" s3, they often had a nightmare with it! you can get a 300bhp out of it for not that much, with a k04 hybird, for a big turbo youd' be looking at 350bhpish? Or more?

If its not the s3 image your worried about, probably is, but you can get a3 quattros for cheap then big turbo that to 320bhp or more if money allows forged items. But I'd rather an s3 though anyday

As am away with Marines soon, will be a huge long term project and probably end up as a fast road/track car for when i'm home wont be doing loads of miles
