2019 Audi TT RS

BlackZeda

I live less than 5 miles from my work, and only go into the office 3 days a week, so it has actually been a challenge to get to 1500 miles so far.

The interior of the TT is spacious compared to the Z, so it took a bit of seat adjustment and time to get comfortable driving it. It probably has to do with the insane amount of visibility and feeling the Gs a bit more. Driving in a muscle car or a Vette that sensation is even more pronounced, so I guess I just like driving smaller cars.

Getting to 60 is instantaneous now, so I imagine that the R8 would mean the loss of my license. I would see the R8 as track car as it probably would make daily driving pretty boring.

Even though I probably would get used to it, I feel that the Vette would never be the right fit for me on a few different levels. I like that you see very few Zs and even fewer TTs on the road. There is something to that. Although I have to say that I haven't had a Vette driver act like a fool around me in the Z that I can recall.

Glad you enjoyed the little review.

Definitely super hard to find TT, especially the TT-RS. Matter of fact, I think they only made 3000 of them? In a year, you will see Corvette everywhere. Also I don't know how old you are, but I hate the stigma of driving a Corvette. I much prefer to have a lower key car, well unless someone gives me a Ferrari. If you live in teh Bay Area, you will see Model 3 everywhere. They are more common than Camrys now

That Vette stigma was probably one of the main reasons why I went for Z when I bought it to be honest. It was actually a good thing because to this day I would rather have a Z (or Supra) than a Corvette, unless it were purely a track car, but even then they still feel big.

In regard to lower key; if I were to order a TT RS I probably would have gone with the spoiler delete. Don't get me wrong, the fixed spoiler is really sharp looking, and it is probably the best stock one I have seen, especially with the cool winglets, but the TT looks amazing with the pop-up one and it would be a true sleeper.

Teslas are pretty common here in Colorado as well. We are kind of east California nowadays anyway, but I think people don't spend the type of money on cars that bay area people do.

I am the opposite, I love the TT with the fixed wing. No wing TT looks like a giant turtle shell, similar to the Model X.

Gas is expensive here, our climate favors EV and our infrastructure is good. That's why it makes sense to have it. Plus cars have come a long way, we can have reasonable fun at the track while truly driving home the next morning. My wife still wants a Porsche Boxster in all electric form, but that might not come for 5-6 years. I figure the performance 3 will get by until then, I am hoping there is another power bump in it. 2.9 sec 0-60 maybe

Zoren,

Anytime you wanna check out a tt-rs just let me know man. When the ‘rona is over, I’ll let you know when the next monthly Audi meet is at ace cafe and you can see 8 or so tt-rs’s that are in our club. When we got ours, we were the only MK III but now there are a bunch and some are quite modded. Also a couple r8’s show up too so it’s a good time.

Unlike our western brethren, Audi peeps here are chilled out and kinda shy and laid back and the VW crew keeps to themselves and are harmless, alhouth online the golf r folks are delusional and think their car is better than anything else on the road.
