Really? That's surprising. Flat as a pancake is not how I would describe it Carl. Mine flies mate and keeps on pushing hard well into 3 figures. 335i may be quicker but my TTS is most definitely not flat!

Cant get anything other that dwarfs, midgets or amputees in the back of any TT though. Whats quickest with 4 people in?

Could be my perfect car!

You can get a full set of track wheels/tyres in the boot with the seats down though

What about a fold up bondage table?

There are vbox results showing stock S-Tronics doing 0-100mph in 8.3s (which is about the best that was got with manual remapped cars) and with a remap 7.4s which is mental. This car is regularly at Crail, the last time it was there it did 11.65 @ 119.7mph with 410hp.

Says it all then Crail quarter mile times have ALWAYS been wildly opimistic

Rumour has it that it's 50m short of a 1/4 mile.

[dxb335d]

Rings a bell actually back to my Ford days will. Think I have heard that before! Either 30 or 50m, can't believe I forgot.

BHP per ton there's only 1 horse in it between a TTS and 335i. Not saying that proves anything but it just seems to be getting ignored in the BHP will waving debate.

Never driven a TTS or RS but I've found most Audi S and RS cars to feel quite flat after initial launch. In saying that I have nearly always been shocked when I looked at the speedo.

Crail times are ok. It's poor for rwd or fwd cars as they can't get the power down.

4wd cars seem to do far better. It offers the right level of grip to maximise a 4wd launch.

From all of the Vauxhall scene guys, most of the faster fwd cars are a few tenths down at Crail but terminals are a couple of mph up than at Santa pod.

But going back to the original point which is the only one you have not brought times into it, is a TTs can't match a 335i. That one at Crail is well off the pace. Terminal fine but that's below what people are doing in standard tune.

For all the figures posted about the RS they don't match. It's even quicker by a margin on the vbox figures. Over a second quicker to 120mph would indicate a massive difference over the quarter mile time.

I've never seen any other car benefit so much from an extra 75bhp. To drop from mid 11s to mid 7s is a crazy difference.

To compare it with a 335i for the same performance increase with a jb4 burger claim the 0-100mph will be improved by 2 secs. The faster the car is, the harder it is to gain more time.

0-100mph in 7.4secs is very very fast and I can't see any other car of that power getting near that outwith lightweight cars.

Transmission losses for 4wd are huge though.

Once moving it kills straight line speed.

0-100mph for a TTs seems to be over 14secs according to all road tests.

[Martin 335d]

I'm sorry but NEVR in a month of Saturdays and Sundays is a 400odd BHP TT doing mid 7s to 100mph, not a chance!!

Ive had a tussle with 2 S3s in my 335d the 1st one I know was 100% remapped, as is my 335d, and once we were rolling, the S3 wasn't even close, I walked away from it with ease, and the very same happened with a remapped mk6 Golf GTI when my 335d was stock.

[Kerr]

An Audi R8 V8 does 0-100mph in 10.5secs.

What's the point of buying the flagship car is a TT will beat it?

"All" is very strong considering I've already posted a few where it has done it in less or maybe you just ignore them for some reason

first I posted the SportAuto test of a manual where it did 0-160km/h(100mph) in 12,8s



then their test of the S-Tronic where it did it in 12,3s

http://www.sportauto-online.de/einze...71.html?show=4

and then a direct comparison with a 135i where it did 11,8s vs the 135i's 11,7s

and some I haven't posted yet nowhere near 14s

AutoMotor und Sport, 0-160km/h in 12,6s


AutoBild comparison with a 370z and Cayman, where a manual TTS does 12,9s (60hp down on the 370z but 100kg lighter so it is quicker)



and a heavier roadster doing it in 13,0s

What's the difference in times between a manual 335i and a dct?

BMW official figures are 0-62 mph 5.5 Manual 5.4 DCT

Audi’s Official figures (Brochure) do actually confirm the TT-RS is faster than the R8 V8 0 –62 mph although the V10 is faster

R8 V8 4.6 sec
R8 V10 3.9 sec

TT-RS Manual 4,5 sec S-Tronic 4.3 Sec

The S3's are slower than the TTS due to not having a few engine tweaks and being 100kg heavier (and are in the huge majority manuals as S-Tronics only became available in 2009)

They put down ~14s+ 0-100mph times in tests

I prefer 0-100mph times as they show a little more. I'd prefer to see further times from a rolling start outwith 30-70mph.

The V10 is recorded at 0-100mph at 9 secs at 60 in 4.1 sec. So if the claimed standard time of a TT RS is 9.4secs by conneem, it's still far too close.

12.4sec at 117MPH standing quarter with 518BHP. That TT RS takes a full 0.8 seconds off that which is a huge margin at that kind of time.

[Kerr]

The mental Mitsibishi FQ-400 VIII is about 9.5secs 0-100MPH after hitting 60 in 3.4secs.

The Crail timeslip is there to see though, 11.65 @119.5mph and he has shown a dyno of his car producing 410hp. It's now putting out 420hp with a good bit more over the top end as he went to Stage 2 last week with a secondary decat. He also got some transmission tweaks to stop the car short shifting when it looses traction in 1st and to alter the launch control rev limit. He should be back at Crail again soon with these tweaks and all being well post some better numbers.

For comparison there was an F430 at Crail the other week and it posted a best of 12.16s @125mph (after it managed to hook up, which by the looks of his other runs was difficult but he got a decent 60ft of ~2.0s in this run, about the same as the guy in the TTRS manages)

http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/showdr...ate=2011-11-13

and according to these tests it does 100mph in 8,3-8,4s.

Here is a Autocar video of putting the R8 against the TT RS.

Not sure the driving part is a fair reflection as no idea how good each driver in in comparison.

Surprised they are close as most reviews say the TT is a poor handling car, so it can only be down to the driver.

However towards the end they do a straight line speed comparison.

As physics would suggest. It's not close.
