AUDI TT RS vs Nissan 370Z

kevr6 · 12-25-2009, 01:09 AM

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!
