barry2711 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 A good friend of mine has a TTS. Its a nice car, from the passenger seat bum dyno, acceleration feels a bit stronger through the gears imo. Interior is nice to look at but the seats didn't support me as much as my 350z. Also the noise of the vag 4 pot turbos doesnt sound very pleasant. The 350z has much more soul and excitement around it. However I can imagine the TTRS to be a bit of a weapon, but they just seem a bit of a boring choice. Quote
Rock_Steady Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I don't know there's something I quite like about annoying people by beating them in a boring car. I can't lie, if I was shown a clean pair of heels by a TTrs or even a TTs in my zed...... yeah, I'd be a little annoyed. Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Wow that TTRS is fast but....it starts at £48k without any options so not really a fair comparison to the £30k RWD NA zed. I'm guessing Audi RS servicing is up there with the GTR in terms of running costs too i.e. eyewatering? Seems like 4wd, launch control and FI is the way forward for big performance! WRT comparisons to larger machinery would it keep up with higher displacement 911 turbos and GTRs over 120mph where the fun really starts?? And is that "golf chassis" really up to track duties lol??

The owner said he switched the TCS off despite the monsoon (what a tool). You have been warned! Quote
Ekona Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Best way to learn car control is in the wet with all systems off Were car and driver okay? Quote
docwra Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Also the noise of the vag 4 pot turbos doesnt sound very pleasant. The 350z has much more soul and excitement around it. However I can imagine the TTRS to be a bit of a weapon, but they just seem a bit of a boring choice. You sure you got in the right car? TTRS is a 5 cylinder and doest sound too bad IMO: I know that one is modified but I bet its not much more than a chip and an exhaust, Ive read you can get 430hp from just that. Frankly I dont think its comparable even to the 370ZN (TTS is) and Im still laughing a day after reading that people are actually comparing 1M's and Cayman R's to 370Z's, Ive caned all three and trust me, ze Germans are considerably better (and more expensive funnily enough) 1 Quote
