Mine is the S3 3.0 V6 Roadster

3.7 is the 3.7 V6 model Roadster it shouldn't be classed as part of the 3.0 series iteration IMHO

Quite right - too many differences, Engine, GBox, Non-galv chassis, dash, gauges....

It still says Roadster on it, though.. And it has a galvanised chassis..

And no engine ground clearance issues..!!
