If the TT-RS had a manual transmission option it would be perfect. Although dual clutch transmissions are actually pretty nice now.

TT 3320 lb 335 lb 332 ft-lb
3.6 0-60
12.1 1/4 mile
is that right? I would think it needs at least 400 hp to get those numbers.

But of course as a result, you won't be seeing those numbers...

The 0-60 time of 3.6 sec. for the Audi TT-RS is a little misleading. The only way it can achieve those times is using launch control. If you look at its rolling 5 - 60mph time (which is 5.2 sec.), that's a better indication of its accelerating capabilities. I wish magazines would stop using launch control or clutch dumping at 5000rpms or more; or for automatics revving the engine and holding the brake pedal and then letting go of the brake pedal. Like who in the right mind would abuse their cars like that.
In the real world, the Audi R8-V10 would smoke the Audi TT-RS. The TT-RS will probably hang with the R8 in a 0 - 60 drag race, but rolling acceleration, the TT-RS will get smoked.
Even the BMW M1 will beat the TT-RS from a rolling start. I'm pretty sure if the TT-RS didn't use any type of launch control, it's 0-60 time would be in the high 4's.
$66,000 is way too much for the TT-RS. I rather get the BMW M1 and have an extra $16,000 in my bank.

I'd take 1M. TT-RS 0-60 is ridiculous. That has to be with perfect launch control.

For what it's worth, Audi/VW has been under-rating their engines.
200hp on a GTI is actually 200hp at the wheels.
333hp on the S4 is actually 333hp at the wheels.. etc etc (or 400+ bhp)

BTW, here's a test mule of an Avant with the TT-RS drivetrain (rumored to be the new RS4)

Even at this price, I'm sure these cars would still be selling like hotcakes (relatively), since it still has a very solid following.

66G's for a TT-RS...No thanks. the audi is not a consideration even if it had the DSG and launch control in north america.
i would definitely go with the 1M. 16 G's less than the audi is a deal breaker.
the g37's fuel consumption is absolutely terrible...i have friends who have the car as well and that thing vaporizes gas even with timid driving habits
5 grand over a standard g37s with only rims, a bit more power and some aesthetic touches does not justify the price!
