S3's are slow compared to a VXR. S3 has less power and 4wd transmission loss.

I was going to comment but felt I'd get abuse for it... But an S3 struggled to pull away from my XE and was only a couple of car lengths ahead until silly speeds. But a VXR dicked all over me from 90-130+

I had a 5 door CDTI 150 XP which was boxed and rollered 201bhp. It was a great car. £ for £ equally as good as my VXR.
