Not really an apple vs apple comparison as the S3 has a noticeable power advantage compared to the 228i but the fact that the BMW more than did well in beating the S3 around the track shows the BMW has the better chassis
I dislike these dudes so much. They have no clue what they're talking about. Zero. "It takes so long until it gets going." Only somebody that has no clue about the car (or cars in general) would say that. That's why the S3 has launch control. It's unbelievable that their shitty show has so many views.
