Ok the new TT is alot better looking and improved over the first gen.

Went and looked at one the other day, very very roomy inside. great layout and driving position. I have heard the 3.2 is a nice grunty engine. Well 250hp 236tq.

Went for a drive , the sales guy said dont take it over 4500rpm its a new car, YEA sure. lol

I told the sales guy to keep the window down so I can hear the exhaust. Didnt hear much, very quite. And for the performance, well it was kinda hoppy and soft at the same time, strange. As for power, lol, I kept looking down to be sure I didnt leave the E brake on? This thing just dosnt want to move.

After reading more in the TT book. The peak tq is only there for 500 rpm. From like 3000 to 3500. wtf .

Now the kicker. MSRP $54 large. It was loaded Nav., Magnetic ride, ect.

I thought maybe it would lease out well> After looking at vw vortex a guy had A $44k TT 3.2 leased out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, $820 for 36 months,,, without tax, taggs. He didnt lease or buy it thou.

LOLOLOL.....next please.

I guess Im use to the extra 100hp and 120 lbft im feeling in my evo. I just didnt expect slownessssssssssss.

 

get the 2.0t and chip it.... you're back up to 260-270hp and equal torque....

Cheers!

 

That car is for looks and that's about it - love Audi, but that's all it is (The TT).

 

If i was to buy one, thats what i would do.

 

I really like the redesign. The TT is a great car if you subtract at least $15k from the sticker. The price doesn't make any sense to me. If this was in the $30k range it would be a competitor.

 

Thats what I was thinking,,, a good $10k+ over priced.

No 2.0 turbo in the quattro thou.

 

I am afraid you are not too familiar with that car. Could you please name a few cars with such weight and only 250hp that deeps into the 13s like that Audi TT did?

The Audi TT with its mere 250 hp is one of the best performance cars. Even on the old Audi TT companies like HPA did monsters freak of nature as far is performance go, they do have twin turbo kits and the car comes with an AWD. You need to see some of the Audi projects launched on te magazine Sport compact car and you will see what I am talking about.

That engine is marvelous.

I am glad you are knowledgeable on this area. Yes indeed, you are correct. The FSI 2.0l turbo makes insane amount of extra power with just a chip or a flash, wether is Giac, APR,Neuspeed,Techtronic or whatever main company this engine makes astonishing hp/tq increases with just a flash.

It is in my opinion one of the top best 2.0 liter engines in the world.



Carlos

 

Yeah, unfortunately and inexplicable. Some makers are so sophisticated when making cars but so retarded in the marketing department.

The lack of AWD on the 2.0 t will hurt the sales just like the lack of DSG not ofered in both. Bad marketing, great engineering!

Carlos

 

It is in the $30 but not with the 3.2l. This is a win to win situation for someone that buys the 2.0l. With a cheap budget of less than $500 you get the same power and torque on the 2.0l than on the 3.2l but you also get a much better gas mielage.

Carlos

 

^ Why do you count how many turbo cars you've had, and who cares if they were dynoflashed

 

I don't know. Why not though? It is like me asking you why you are sponsored by Matt Martin Racing

It is reciprocal thinking....


Carlos

 

I don't know, why don't you count N/A cars?

Well because he gives me money, 15 turbo cars don't.

 

I guess I could do that as well but I had more fun with the turbo cars though . There are always many people on this forum that swap cars like I do and you can take that to your advantage.

Many people might ask you about a car you had when they are looking for such car. I do that a lot.
