SJ350z Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hey guys, Was just curious if anyone has raced the TT Rs ? If you have how did you get on and what mods are you running? Purely curious as a friend made out they are very quick but they only have 340bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I can see this ending well You of course mean down a dragstrip.. right? Or around a track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davectr Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 ttrs would destroy a 350z +1. I've got one 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ350z Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Didn't think where I meant. Guess down the drag but can look at track too. So they are a lot faster then? Was just intrigued as my friend made out they were rapid yet they have 340hp.. Guessing they x4 drive and fairly light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 there have what 70-80bhp more than a 350z so thats like 20% more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmr1991 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 a TT rs would annihilate a 350z around track or along a drag strip. My cayman s ate several 350zs, and I got eaten by a ttrs in my cayman s... and going from a cayman S to a 350z then back to a cayman S I 100% noticed the difference. (well ex-cayman s, as I've sold it literally 2 hours ago) So to sum it up. yes TTrs is faster and better in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davectr Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Another thing to bear in mind is that lots of them are chipped, which with no other mods will give it ~400bhp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 TTRS is still a woman's car... Even if it is faster then a 350z 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosssco Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Point to point, probably significiantly quicker, more so in inclement conditions.. Its the torque and ability to deploy it that makes it a very quick real world car.. Better? Define better.. Supposedly not the most involving thing to drive, but I wouldn't try racing one if you're concerned about "winning"..

WINKJ Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 TTRS is 4.1 to 60. 350Z is 5.9. Facts speak for themselves. agree that its faster, but it doesn't make it a 'better' car. if people want speed they could go and buy a nova - or something similar, drop 15k on mods and it and it would probably be quicker than a TTRS, but in my opinion by no stretch is it a better car! I know how the 350z used to make me feel when I drove it, it isn't the fastest, most expensive car on the road, but it did make me t! and the same now with my Nismo, I test drove a brand new cayman and it didn't come close in terms of the 'feeling' I get when I drive the z . When I am in the Porsche Box S (new shape) I know for a fact it doesn't get as much interest nor does it have that 'drivers' feel and excitement that I get in the Z. I am not saying the Z is the best car on the road because it isn't... but I do believe it has a bit of 'special' feeling that you can't easily replicate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A buddy was talking about one of these the other day and was pretty surprised when he told me how quick they were, 0-60 etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I actually did come across an Audi TTRS a few years ago when I was driving my zed. Id never really heard of the TTRS. We came off a roundabout on a dual carriageway, I was in 2nd gear and we were both flooring it from about 25mph up to a "reasonable" speed when we both backed off. From where I was sitting, it was neck and neck. He was definitely booting it, not just out for a gentle drive. We did the same thing off the next roundabout to make sure it wasnt just a one off with me getting the drop on him or anything. It wasnt until I got home that I googled the TTRS and found out more about them. Im sure on a 1/4 mile or from a standing start he would have killed me, but on that day, on that occasion, in that situation, he didnt. They are mental cars and have huge tuning potential. My zed was an HR, so had 309bhp. I actually remember posting on here at the time and got slated as people said the TTRS would have destroyed me or the guy wasnt trying or I was imagining things etc etc. As a comparison, I did come up against an C63 AMG a few weeks later and my god, he totally blew me off the road as if Id put the car in reverse gear. Unbelievably quick acceleration from what I thought was a boring looking Merc family car in my rear view mirror. Not to mention that Corsa VXR..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamdc2 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 From Evo website:- Audi- £43k , four-wheel drive, 335bhp, 332lb ft, 235bhp/ton. I had the same with a C63 AMG.....I genuinely looked down to check my revs as I thought my car stalled or lost all power or something. C63= Beast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Almost laughed at the title when I saw it Had a 'go' with a white one going to work, it won't disappear but if it plants it, they'll be off. Prob disappear on a track though. Looks good but still like every other TT (and a lot of diesel TT's are running about with RS bits and bobs, which kinda dilutes the RS name I think). Zed def looks a bit more...different. Edited September 1, 2014 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The comments about it being a "womans" car or a "hair dressers" car came from Clarkson............and I couldn't disagree more. I had the derv version and that was quick - not like the zed, but I imagine the TTRS is something again - I do agree with the comments though about head turning - the zed gets far more looks and "feels" that much more special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyboarder81 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've been out in a ttrs with just a map on it and they are really quite impressive , huge real world performance and in this regard loads better than the 50/70 ... Would I buy one ... No . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I had a Derv TT for a month whilst my car was in the garage. Really, really nice car and I'd imagine the RS is savagely quick. I actually quite like the look of them too and really thought I wanted one whilst I had the hire car... About 1 min after getting my Zed back I've not given it a thought since.
