If they are still using quattro the way they were its only 4 wheel when needed and the fwd if not.

The Z doesnt do 1/4 mile in 13.2 stock, alittle slower I think, Plus with the quattro a every day driver can achieve more consistant times than a Z driver with RWD.

The Z costs so much less and still pretty much equals the performance. Throw in a couple mods and the Z beats the TTS. Win=370Z. Besides, the TTS is ugly and the 370Z is beautiful. And the TTS is still a chick car.

if you do a mod for mod between the two cars the TTS will gain way more than the Z. ANd it cost more cuz it has more technologies on it and the interrior is better. How much do you think the Z would cost with a DSG, magnetic ride, and turbo and lets not forget the TTS is basically a port and touring model in one so add all those things to the 40K Z and what do you get? 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.

if you do a mod for mod between the two cars the TTS will gain way more than the Z. Turbo cars take to mods way better. Just an exhaust and canned tune on the TTS and you are looking at another 50 hp and 80 tq. And it cost more cuz it has more technologies on it and the interrior is better. How much do you think the Z would cost with a DSG, magnetic ride, and turbo and lets not forget the TTS is basically a sport and touring model in one so add all those things to the 40K Z and what do you get? A 50+K Z.

Its funny how people will say this car is faster than that car to find out it isnt true then they say well mine costs less so its better. I do agree I like the Zs body shape better but I wouldnt pass up on a free TTS or TT RS for that matter but Z owners always seem to come back and say its the best bang for the buck when even that isnt really true. There is always a better faster car out there and we just have to live with it. The Z for me is a nice DD that will be my car for the next 2 yrs and by then hopefully I can get the level of car I really want, what ever it may be at that time.
