Well, obviously they're both not standard.
A3: APR Tuning Stage 3 Turbocharger System
GTI: APR Tuning ED30/K04 Conversion package

So what, I bet everyone of those 2.0 tfsi tuned drivers will kill to own an R8. Is just no way to compare them...

likely they would not.
but i've met some stage 3+ B5 S4's that put down over 400 hp and almost 500 lb/ft of torque that could obliterate a 997 TT!!!!

Its always a bit silly to compare forced induction cars with normal aspirated cars.

I'd like to see it beat the R8 from a rolling start... Nice not to show what speeds the pulls are done at.

That was never its designed purpose. People can throw any kind of extra HP power goody and make almost ANY kind of car go fast in a straight line. And I'm sure street racing people care about such things. Not me.
The R8 is a very complete hi performance GT, road racing type sports car. Nothing more; nothing less. I can understand making very valid comparisons of the R8 to Porsches, or Ferraris, or Corvettes, or Lotus or Nobles or GT-R's on quality road courses. The other stuff is pretty meaningless as a measure of the R8.

although i have to admit these cars can not be compared, show them a track and the R8 will probably outrun them easily, one must admit that the performance shown on this video is outstanding. Being a little lazy, and not knowing for sure, i'm going to bet the R8 is lighter than the GTI/A3 family... (please correct me if i am wrong)
the R8 has twice the cylinders and twice the displacement, however the punny gti keeps up with the R8 in a straight line.... i am amaized here guys... those engines are fantastic!!

Yeah, I know. It's not comparable. They can tune the R8 and then we are back to '0'.
I just wanted to show you guys.
