370Z vs TT-RS

spearfish25 · 05-01-2011, 03:41 PM

Just came across this. Surprising outcome! And who knew about the TT-RS brakes.

Oh yeah, who can speak German? I made out about 10 words.

What I got from it (which most people can I'm just condensing it). The Z wins...here's the breakdown

Nissan 370z

-Great/fun handling
-Solid brakes
-Decent price, attainable without being ridiculous
-Got marked down for "leistung" which, best I can tell, means performance or power. Coming from German cars I can see where they may feel power is low haha

Audi TTRS
-Good engine/power
-Good handling
-Mediocre braking
-High price

Z wins!!!

If anyone could elaborate further please do, this is just my quick and dirty version of a worthwhile video!

I loled at the end

My crappy work computer wont allow me to see the vid. Thats a strange comparo. The TT is like 60k right? And its alot faster. But props on the Z win.

interesting

Cmike2780 · 05-01-2011, 05:16 PM

I think they were comparing 0-100 kph (0-60) performance at the end

There time was 5.9.... slowest I've seen. Silly Germans were bagging it me thinks...

Edit: Even the TT RS should be under 4 seconds.

TT-RS can't break 4s. It comes in at 4.5-4.9 which is on par with the quickest of the 370Z times.

More interestingly is that the TT-RS was less than a second quicker around their track. I think the Z just takes some skill to drive quickly, and puts down the most impressive times when you trash the OEM RE050As and put some real tires on it (aka RE-11s).

Whoever did the editing must recently got new software for his computer trying out all the flashy video transitions or something. Got a headache just watching it.

I'm pretty sure they said at one point "And the Z doesn't break down twice a month!"

Lemers · 05-01-2011, 07:50 PM

Either car is a win. But at $60k I would be looking at a cayman unless the Audi is a lot better.

PapoZalsa · 05-01-2011, 07:54 PM

The TT-RS is ridiculous EXPENSIVE! So best bang for the buck= 370Z!

...doesn't matter what numbers the TT put down.
