The TT RS killed in all areas, no offense to my Z, I love it, but the TT RS is way faster in the 0 60 and slightly faster on the track. Yea the TT RS cost big bucks and is only available in Europe right now but trust me the Audi kills the Z in creature comforts and interior quality. The Z is alot beter inside now but still not to the quality of the TT. I know I had the 1.8T manual and the 2.0T TT AT and it was nice just not as fast as I wanted as the turbo was too small, plus Ive always wanted a Z, and they have finally made one with a pretty good interior. Pricing aside the TT RS is IMO better in all areas, Quattro, turbo (with big gains when chipped), great gas milage, and alot of standard extra creature comforts, and the DSG is awesome and super quick, no road noise. I think a better coparison for the Z would be to the Audi TTS which is closer in performance and price.

Dunno about that, seems all references state 0-60 of about 4.6-4.7 s for the tt rs, which is about the same as the z under ideal conditions. Haven't seen any track comparisons. how faster is it?

And i sure hope it has more luxuries, considering the mafia-like price audi charges for its cars. 56 000 euros? that's about 85000 dollars here. that's bmw m3 and porsche 911 price! heck, for just 15000 more the GT-R is waiting for you!

besides, just wait until the warranty expires and that overpriced vw begins to fall apart. there's major $$$$$$$$ right there.

and i have to say i never liked the tt styling. too girly, too vw new beetle.

I test drove the TT-S (just for fun) when testing cars which ended in the purchase of the z. Sorry to say but the tt-s was a better car than the z, quality, interior design and finish, ride quality, it was simply superior... I also quite like the look of the tt... but yeah far far too expensive.

However, more to the point, I can't imagine the TTRS being worse than the z. the price difference is certainly not justified though.

Nice...

The Z is a great car, but there are always "better" car out there.

And no, the TTRS is not a piece of junk.

The Z in general is the "best" considering the $ you are paying for the performace and quality.

I don't have any issues with the TT, other than I think the Z is a way better deal for the money.

Well it looks like they picked the 370 as the winner....even though it was slower.

What happens to the TT near the end? Did something break at 7:42? LOL

I owned a new TT and it is a space frame car that is way above the 370Z!! I love my Z but the way the TT handled and the interior quality blew away the Z. I just didn't want to pay for the TT anymore so that's where the Z shines!! Bang for the buck!
The Electro mechanical steering, Haldex Quattro, Magnetic Ride suspension, Adaptive bi-xenons, weight distibution, looks, fit and finish were on par with the R8! The car needed more hp and cost to high! But there are reasons for that!
I miss her, don't miss the cost or the lack of mods stateside!

The video showed the difference in the 0 60 time between the two and also remember that other countries pay more for the cars than we do in the states, just check one of the other threads here that state the diff in prices for the Z between the US and like the Phillipines, so the TT RS if it were to come to the US would be a good bit less than the current price over seas. A GTS in the Phillipines would be 100K US dollars plus. The TTS is about 45K and is in the same performance range as the Z, 0 60 in 4.9 secs.

If I could I would have both cars as they really are two different cars IMO.

Hi Guys, this is my first post and I haven't introduced myself (sorry), but just to tell you that in France, the number of 370Z Nissan has sold in 2009 is... 200 !!!
And you are lucky guys because the price is around 44000 € (58000 $) there. But it's not the worst price in Europe: in Portugal the 370Z is around 70000€ !!!! (98000 $), no no it's not a joke.

Enjoy it, it's really an amazing car (and we don't have Yellow, it's a special edition 50000€ ...)

This was from a guy in France, man they really pay for thier cars. They must have a seriously high income everage there or something.
