All a bit pointless really in my view, come on chaps, let's not beat about the bush.
An off the shelf RS3 is a serious bit of kit, well any RS3 is for that matter and more than able to hold it's own quite easily on our road given the speed limits, or over them as many will suggest.
So in a road car of this calibre why start faffing around trying to get another 0.5 of the standing start times and another 1 sec of the 60-100 mph, for god sake you will never notice it and if you say you can notice that 0.5 reduction, then you should be in F1 on a race track, with all the speed monitoring kit there is available.
If an owner wants to up the performance for serious gains that will be used on a track where it will be fully utilized then that's different, but on our rubbish road and speed limits, just no point from an automotive standpoint but in the drivers head, well what goes on inside there is just anything.

@desertstorm is a classic example, a top man with a blisteringly fast car used on a track where driver skill and car performance are optimized.
If you want to mess around with a new rs3, don't , just buy an 8V and do a few bits and it will be just a good, two parts to the equation the "driver" and the "car" , anyone can jump into a fast car and drive it , only a few can jump into the same car and "drive" it "properly" , driver skill and experience is whats it's all about.
