alot of stuff goes into consideration not just weight and power. aerodynamic drag, suspension, tires, and other factors come into play
|
Audi TT-S Drag coefficient: .31
Mazdaspeed3 Drag coefficient: .32
Suspension, though not much of a factor, is already a variable in dyno testing. The Speed3 puts down more power than a stock TT-S.
Tires? The TTS comes with better tires than a Mazda. Part of the price tag. Mazda gets shitty tires.
Other factors? Please elaborate.

Sure my car is around 100 lbs heavier than the TT-S but I believe the MS3 would be a more suitable competitor to my Altima than the TT-S

The last time I checked the 3.5 Altima has a 15 sec. quarter mile time compared to 14 flat for the Speed3.
