MS3 is not as fast as TT-S, period.
I'm certainly not one to critique an honest opinion. But is there a lack of knowledge of basic physics here, or what is going on? Please explain to me how a car that is heavier and is putting less power to the ground is faster than a lighter car putting down more power?

I've driven it and it is in no way slow after 60 mph
I never said it was slow beyond 60 mph. I just said slowER than a lighter car with more wheel hp and torque. And yes, the drivetrain losses from an AWD car are higher than a FWD or RWD car.
