Yea thats right! JK!

Even tho I used you for alot of advice in those forums and bought your stuff too. I still have your modshack intake sitting in my garage. I agree the MK2 is a better car than the MK1 but I actually like the looks better than the MK1 too, but thats just me. The kid that got my MK1 has basically killed the car within a year of owning it. What a waste.

LOL...Yeah....55,000 posts on the Audi forums...I'm just a Post Ho!

nice..took the audi tt's third and highest performer to beat out the z :/
their v10 R8 is still slower than a base GT-R..IMO audi doesnt do that well when it comes to producing performance...the m3 has similar performance to their regular r8..when it comes to German automobiles, Id consider a Porsche or BMW (in the performance aspect)

Mod...you had to go there.

uh ohs!!

Guys the Zed was only .5 secs behind the ttrs and given they only got 5.9 secs to 100km/h for the Zed, I think they probably could've squeezed out a bit more form the Zed. The MOST BASIC of TT's in australia cost approx 70,000 and that is for a 4 cylinder. 70,000 is the price for a Zed with virtually all the fruit in australia. Now for very little if any performance gains from the TT RS you are paying approx double what the Zed is worth. I prefer the looks of the Zed hands down, performance is really on par, interior is good too. What is it with people going on about Audi interiors, i have sat in a tt, good but please take a pill, it's not heart stopping. All in all the Audi is just way too overpriced for what you are getting. Someone else here said 'Mafia prices"

BTW, the "fit" of panels etc on Japanese cars is second to none. I wish all these people who go on about the fit of German cars would suddenly become objective.

isn't the audi a 4 banger 2.0? how can you compare it to a v6 3.7.?

Something's not right with the 370Z's 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds. All the magazines' I've read have gotten the Z to 60mph in the range of 4.6-5.2 seconds but almost a full second with these amateurs??? Either they're not pushing the car hard enough or they don't know how to drive.

I can tell you this....the new TT is hands down much better then the orig TT. I have a 2002 here parked in my garage! I hate driving it cause it's just a VW with an award winning body!
The new TT actually doesn't look like a chick's car and uses the Audi parts bin. Now I've only driven the VR6 models because they have always been lower maintenance then the turbos. My wife's is a 1.8T has been flashed with some suspension mods and wheels and tires. She loves her car!! I feel it suits her...being a chick.
I've noticed that the folks who talk crap about the TT probably haven't owned it(or even driven it). That's the only real way to do a comparison. Drive them back to back and you'll understand! Also everyone keeps ignoring all the features the TT has that the Z doesn't have! I've notice that the Z is extremely flexy even though I've stiffened up the susp. The stock TT is three times as stiff (0 body flex). I miss all the room I had in the TT compared to the Z (6'3" 230 lbs).
I think the TT styling is better (classy) then the Z. The Z just screams "all business" in the looks department!
And 0-60 times are really not that important when so many cars on the street are within a second of us. I'll never understand the penis size thing!
Now if they import the TTRS and I have an opportunity to purchase through work....hmm...it's all about the dollar. Even though business didn't slow down like I expected!

And you have the torsional stiffness measurements of both cars? From what I have read the Zed is very stiff, so i don't know wehat angle you are coming from?

I can perk that thing up for you, but your Wife may (or may not) need it. I've been designing and building a small group of performance parts for the TT for 8-9 years now.......All my really good car buddies still own TT's....

PM me pricing! I was trying to decide what to do for her! She wants the dual exhaust (w/ 3.2 valence). That would work nicely also!
