A3 if those stats are deffo right.
bigger powerband, lighter, more power, the diesel owners "ooh i got loads of torque" thing means little in a straight line race with those other stats.

A3 for the same reasons as Stavros. More power and lighter = winner.

My bad..just was VRS and thought it was the octavia, as per yours.
Fabia: er..yeh, still sticking with the A3.
Fabia: Kerb Weight. 1315 kg
Audi: Unladenweight 1260 Kg
According to internet figures they are roughly the same (unless this specific A3 has been stripped partly?
