I've always been a big fan of Audis, however they are entirely overpriced. How much is the TT RS? I'm guessing a lot more than a loaded Z...so not much point in comparing the two. I am planning on getting a 370z this year. It will not be my daily driver and after a year or so I will supercharge it and spank the daylights out of one of these...

A 50K Z.

C'mon man we're not talking NASA technologies here. It is just a turbo, just an electrical coil around electromagnetic filings that react via electronics to electrical stimuli. A DSG is pretty common these days too. In the end the TTRS is quicker and it ought to be when you are paying so much more. BUT when I am paying for my car I would take the ZEd. In Australia the RS costs double the ZEd, is it twice as fast/quick ....NO.Also speed is not everything...in regards to the ZED interior, c'mon it is at least 90% of the TT but at 50% less cost. someone is getting rippped off.

It seems a lot of people base the value and or merits of a vehicle al most entirely on test track #’s. They think “well my car puts down better numbers and is cheaper so therefore my car is better than your car”. As if the test numbers (or #’s vs. price) a vehicle happens to achieve is the sole reason for what renders a particular vehicle worth it and or superior, etc. I think Road & Track explained what I’m talking about really well with their ZR1 vs. GT-R vs. 911 Turbo comparisons.

Yes, the Nissan GT-R put down superior numbers and cost a lot less than the Porsche 911 turbo but in the areas where it really matters (driver involvement, connectivity, fun to drive, etc) the 911 turbo is by far the superior vehicle (regardless of price). Basically the 911 Turbo wins by virtue of being the far better “driver’s car” vs. the GT-R which lacks driver involvement, connectivity, excitement, and passion and so on and so forth.

The moral of the story is that test track numbers don’t tell the full story and is hence horrible way to evaluate a vehicles worth. There are so many aspects of an automobile that simply can’t be measured with a timing device but with human senses, emotion, etc. It’s not as black and white as so many apparently think. But a “fan boy” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(person)) will always look for excuses as far why he thinks his vehicle is better regardless if he’s actually even driven the car being discussed.

Bullcrap! The GTR does it better than the turbo Porsche and feels "clinical" because it was built to do it, whereas the Porsche has been stretched and feels like it and this is why the Porsche gets your blood going because it feels nervous about doing those speeds. The Porsche is an old and flawed design continually tweaked by those arrogant Porsche people. Now the 928, that is what Porsche should have stuck with....a great design.

Or get a 08 TT 3.2 and supercharge it :tup: and yes parts are FF, but it does sound pretty nasty.

Just saw a pic of the new 2011 VW Bettle, looks almost like the TT.
