Audio TT RS

Anyone got one? Can't believe they are lighter than ct9a stock and people are already cranking out 1khp on them....
How do they handle compared to a ct9a? I'm sure it's worlds better in DD duties.

Fortunately, I don't have any more garage space. Otherwise I'd probably have an RS3 or TT-RS.

AWD, 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, decent tuning overhead in factory trim, great interior, and reasonable curb weight. On paper, it should be like a mini GTR.

I've only done minimal research on them, for the sake of my wallet. With the right camber plates some people were getting into the 2.0-2.5 range for camber. I see people fitting 265s or 275s without too much trouble. Still has a front-heavy 61/39 weight distribution like the Evo, though.

its also double the price... as far as handling goes, I don't have any direct experience, but I'd expect the Audi to do everything better other than last 200k miles

It's like an evo with more displacement and similar or less weight only issue is handling for me.

in a way I understand where you're coming from, I see and audi and instantly think understeer (except R8)... but I'm under the impression that this car handles better than most other audi's... and I doubt its worse than the CTR...

I sold my 9 and picked up a TTRS. Right off the showroom floor it is capable of 80% of what my track EVO was. But to get that additional 20% is gonna take some work.

Can you elaborate on this? Power doesn't seem to be the issue, I think, so what are the handling limitations?
