Seriously m8 your vr should blow the a3, i raced a golf 1.8t from a standing start, he was ahead of me by a cars lenght until about 50, once i hit third i left him so bad he gave up. we gave it 3 more tries with the same result. Another m8 of mines got an a3 with a catback exhaust, air filter and remapped to 200bhp, i kept upto him on the motorway well past 100mph, my vr just had a bmc.
