I don’t trust Alphas. I’ve got a Panigale 1299S and one temperamental Italian vehicle in the family is enough. If I can get them to give me more for the 911 and we don’t have a shutdown I might get the RS5.

I am about to pull the trigger on ORDERING a TT RS. The only two mods I would be making would be wheels and the paddle shifter. I never thought I would be driving an Audi, but it is so fun in a different way than the Z. Plus it will be a tad bit better in the snow, and there are just a little more space. The interior is one of the best.

I understand completely.

Love the TT RS but the price is what kinda gets me for that you can get a Vette with that toxic V8 torque and sound though I realize the TT RS interior and AWD is light years ahead of the Chevy. Can't wait to see what the use market will be on TT RS in 2yrs. Perhaps they will be available in the mid to upper 40s.

I see the TT RS as more of an ultimate daily-driver and just this weekend I think I have found a path to keeping the Z and getting either a TT RS or a M240i xDrive. I do love the front-end of most models of the Audis though.
