The reason it is a VW look-alike is because it is based on the VW bug. The platform of the TT is the same as the Bug. So basically, this guy is paying WAYY to much for a car that started life as the next iteration of the Nazi people mover....hmmm....

 

Well I have to admit, at least TT owners know there cars are ugly as hell. I saw one on the road the other day with a license plate that read: QSIMODO I about laughed my ass off

 

TeeTee....SmeeTee

Any PeePee owners in Dallas? Come on lets settle it biAtch!

 

this has got to be one of the longest running threads in history...

anyways..if anyone is in the orange county area that would like to run against an S4 or a TTr 225...lemme know. i am willing to run you guys for fun.....just outta curiosity.....i am not one to talk smack or anything....just purely scientific....

we are all enthusists.....we should appreciate each other

 

I agree and I actually am a BIG fan of Audi's, just not the TT. Hell, I already have a deposit down for the next gen S4.

One thing I cant stand is when people come in here and talk trash just to start a fight. If one of my fellow S2k owners started saying they beat a Z06 off the line, I would be putting him/her straight as well..

 

ia gree with you on that one also......trolls suck....we get a lot of em at the audiworld site as well.....really gets things stirred up.....

pride will be pride

 

Just to harp on a point:

Did anyone notice that Big TT's 4 posts have all been in this particular thread? I get the feeling that someone opened an account just to make a smack-talking post (and an unfounded one, at that).

Multiple reputable sources (Edmunds, Car and Driver, etc.) have listed statistics for these two vehicles, and although it can be argued that their stats aren't going to be perfect, I think we can all agree that they are at least impartial. Why is it that Big TT's story doesn't fit with any recorded numbers, or any personal experience of S2k drivers on this board?

Just to add another point, the S2000 was built from scratch - the TT was built on an existing chassis that certainly wasn't made for a sports car. I was looking at TT's and was seriously considering one until I read about the chassis; it was enough to completely turn me 180 degrees. Take a hard, fast corner in an S2000 and then try to call your TT a "sports car."

Has anyone asked this guys if the Owner of the s2k that he raced knew that they were racing?

 

All I can say after driving my boss' TT Quattro (225 hp) is that it's no match for an S2000 (as far as performance is concerned).

First of all, there's that damn turbo lag. The car doesn't seem to have any grunt until you hit 3000 rpm or so. And critics say the S2000 doesn't have any low-end torque? Think about driving a car that is heavier than the S2000 and with a smaller engine producing less torque until that turbo kicks in! By the time that turbo spools up, you're grabbing for another gear because that low redline is calling out.

Secondly, the shifter felt so sloppy and vague. I wasn't sure I was going into the right gear because of the long throws and the lack of precision.

Thirdly, I'd feel uneasy driving this car hard due to the amount of body roll and pitch. The only saving grace was the Quattro and electronically controlled systems to keep the car from getting into too much trouble.

The TT is a fashion statement. The S2000 is a performance statement. I'd choose the S2000 any day.
