350z vs audi tt rs

[Davectr]

Remap, DSG and launch control make the TTRS very fast...

Also had a blast with a c63 ... And they are rapid cars ! Caught up with him ( when he had stopped ) and he hadhis whole family in the car ( wife 2 kids ) , they all looked over at me with big grins on their faces !

Those TT RS's are seriously quick cars. We were at a VMax when a guy turned up in one of the first in the country, it was freakin' rapido. After a while it got a bit hot so he popped the 'hood' to help it cool down. Surrounded by VMaxers quickly as all engine bays do, the question was put - 'so what have you had done to it'?? His reply was - 'Err, nothing, just picked it up from the dealer that morning'!!

I've been out in a ttrs with just a map on it and they are really quite impressive , huge real world performance and in this regard loads better than the 50/70 ... Would I buy one ... No .

 

Reality is, i guess this would be a lot of peoples answer, no need for justifying why, just no, especially at £25k plus!

The zeds look a lot faster than they actually are .... So I just tend to drive mine slowly and look good!

They sound faster than they are with a nice Zorst too

Hey come on, the 350z isn't perfect but I wouldn't say it is ugly

youve not seen mine in person yet

SMD has seen a lot of "persons" in private and public

There are so many variables that threads like this are a bit silly.

 

For example - on a track if you have an idiot in a TTRS and a skilled driver in the 350, the 350 will be faster.

 

But mainly - if you spent the same money buying and modifying a 350z as you did on a TTRS (£25k??), the 350z would be most likely be a lot quicker.

 

A fairer stock comparison for the 350z would be the old shape TT 225 Quattro, or the 3.2 V6.

 

A TTRS, being a much newer car with newer technology, assuming equal drivers and no mods to either, would certainly be faster than a 350. A much better comparison would be the 370z Nismo.

Jesus, don't start them on the 370 nismo... For my sanity please NO

I'd happily have one as a DD. For me, they look a bit too similar to a standard TT to feel really special.

 

In terms of performance though, they'll nail pretty much anything. As the video above shows, they are GT-R quick.

Very true, does make me chuckle, if you dare to mention that a Zed isn't that quick you get all sorts of abuse on here, but mention a quicker car and all you get is 'it's ugly'

 

I would imagine the TTRS is infinitely easier to drive quickly than a Zed, that doesn't make it more fun but it does make it quicker in the real world

Just been trolling google images for exactly that, a tt rs that looks "special" and there isnt much at all.

 

The gtr was reeling it in and passing it, it certainly wouldnt stay remotely close on a track and the one in the vid is tuned, put it up against the same in gtr and would be a different story imho

 

Std 1/4 mile for tt rs is 12.6 (apparently), 1 sec slower than a Gtr

[Ekona]

@SMD: Agreed. I'd like to live with one for a bit, to see if the performance can make it feel special, but I'm not willing to punt £25K to find out.

I'm never wrong so suggesting I am IS abuse

Yeah I had my work cut out to persuade my other half not to get a TT, couldn't have stretched it to a TTRS, she was looking at a TTS which on paper was on a par with a Zed but a Quattro would maybe have been quicker...

[GMballistic]

TTRS is 4.1 to 60. 350Z is 5.9.

 

Facts speak for themselves.

Not sure where you're getting your figures from but Audi claims a 0-60mph of 4.6secs ~ with EVO magazine managing a 0-60mph of 4.4secs.

 

Granted still quicker than any of the standard 350's but still. Plenty of modern cars quicker than a 350 but similar age cars not so many.

 

Also from what I've read about the TTRS it's another Audi that suffers from understeer and really isn't a true drivers car although it is a good daily driver with high performance. Link: http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/239629/audi_tt_rs_coupe_review.html

Have a read of their long-termer, they grew to love it in the end.

Which is what every single person has said on this thread... Nobody has argued the zed is quicker once.

 

I'm sure if many people on this forum wanted a quicker car they wouldn't of bought the zed. It's like saying you are a vegetarian and buying a steak 😉... You just wouldn't do it
