Bought an Audi A3 s-line 1

So as title says I bought a 2020 Audi A3. Already thinking of modding it, but I don't want to void my warranty. I have a plan, and shop in place to get that tiny fucker spitting out 400+hp and 500+ft-lbs of torque, all the while keeping it near stock in appearance. Man I want to do it so badly, but might as well wait till the warranty expires argh.
Its tough I came from a Cadillac ATS rear wheel drive 3.6 liter v6. Popped in a CTS V engine and transmission from a wreck, had a forged crank and better journal bearings out in along with forged pistons. Fucker was fire breathing demon but not so nice in there lovely New England winters, hence why I went all wheel drive.'
Well we will see how long I can keep my speed demon urges under control. Its pretty peppy for only having 200hp, but got 250 torque which helps a lot. Gonna start with new wheels (originals will turn into snow tires and new breaks to reduce unsprung weight.

Cool OP. Sounds dope. If I could pick one car it would be an Audi and a lot of folks would agree. Very comfortable with quality parts.

I'm sure with everything you do you always pick the cheapest and lowest quality goods due to your mind expanding at an exponential rate so the universe is just barely keeping up with the condescension

Man.. I've 200hp in my bike; no way I could deal with that in a car!!
My vote goes for voiding the warranty; you can probably free up upwards of 50hp with simple bolt ons alone. Nice and easy to remove, if required.

I never understood the appeal of an Audi. It's such a boring looking car.

There's a couple of them - S3's, I believe - which regularly attend car meets near where I walk my dog. Got talking to some of the guys that go there and apparently they have a 'pop and bang tune' on them:

I swear to fuck it's the most dumbass thing I've ever seen done to a car. Annoying AF to everyone outside it; sounds terrible, and does nothing for performance.

Gets way better gas mileage than my last car, so I see that as an improvement. I gonna get a second set of rims with blizzaks is the plan, probably in October. Yeah bikes make lots of HP these days, great in a straight line but contact patch is too small to carry any speed through corners, and God forbid you're tail gating (not saying you do but I see plenty of people on their liter bikes doing this) and I have to jam on my brakes, you'll probably end up in my backseat in the best case scenario. Also, saw a bike rider racing a car down a highway known for a particularly s curved section get high-sided... don't think he survived.

I find Audis too proper clean for me. They kinda got a little of that "my shit dont stink" going on. I might be wrong, i lack the passion for cars.
l want to spend my money on one of those VW offroad vans

VW is cool. Great vehicles really. They make Audi though and it's specifically a little higher teir so if I were to say I like Audi I'm really saying VW makes some good shit. If it seems a little more gaudy it's honestly supposed to be. I'd love to get an A4 and upgrade it myself. Second to that you can get a lot out of a Jetta .

LOL, did you just try and turn this into a cars vs bikes thing because my bike has as much power as your shiny new car?
The reason I brought that up is to lend some weight to the suggestion that you should get more power. I wasn't trying to shame you or one up you or something like that.
Besides, cars vs bikes cannot be argued from a purely technical standpoint. Bikes have a soul and inspire passion and connection in a way that cars just cannot do. True, it takes a certain kind of mindset to dive deep into bikes, but so does taking psychedelics.
