So are you telling me that the Audi TT-S is as fast as the 370Z then despite having a 70 hp disadvantage and the same weight? AWD cars are always going to be fast from a standstill acceleration test. It's the roll-on acceleration that gets them. I also see you managed to find the slowest numbers for the Mazda. Below are figures for the Mazda from Road and Track with links.

The only time the Audi is going to be faster than the MS3 is from a standstill--that's the benefit of AWD. The Audi practically ties the 370Z from a stop to 100 mph as well but the Z is obviously the faster car.
