not a chance
PART ONE
well today, i was heading to the local import shop and i passed a audi 1.8T. i couldnt hear over my broke exhuast so i didnt notice him rev at me. i kept going a even 45. i look over he was next to me. i then realized it was the guy whom i saw at the track opening 2 weeks ago. we hit a light. we both just let it loose and off we were. he didnt pull and neither did i. he beat me to the next light however by 1/2 car. i was so surprised he didnt hand me my ass. it was also kinda of wet out side from the snow. PART TWO i was leaving the shop and a mexican in a 92 Protege with a fart cannon and some huge wing was leaving at the sametime. he pulled out after i did. he took off and looked at me like i dont stand a chance when he was passing me at 30mph. so i slowly step on it. so i would spin my tires in the water and gain speed gradually. i got next to him at 40-50. look at him and took off. all i could see was a angry mexican trying to keep up. i could tell his foot was completely to floor and he was bobbing forward on the wheel as if it would help him catch up. then i saw him slap his fist on the wheel in shame.

right it was outside....meaning you more tq and 2 wheel drive at a dead stop would mean spinning from you while his 150 AWD wouldnt slip uncontrollably and leave you spinning.....Im not saying that you didnt actaully do this because i know dingos civic before he sold hung with a TT. Also i think that all audis are awd just not all turbo. Good kill on that second one though

ummm if that audi is stock than it's pretty slow my best friend has a tuned one with a K04 turbo, exhaust, chip and he's probably around 230-240hp, so like 200 to the wheels. the stocks ones are slow as shit

Hmm internet runs my life? I spent maybe two minutes on google to find those specs, as a matter of fact a couple other people said the exact same thing. Just since you own one it is quicker.
I guess vtracer up there is wrong to huh? Someday god willing, i can be lucky enough to get the 1 car that is faster than every other one. |

V8killimports,
Originally when we argued about this you were saying they run low 14s, even though some 7 people said they didn't. Now your changing to mid 14s? Which is it? |

The car doesn't run any 14s. Search for my old thread i quoted like 17 differnt website including audiworld.com, and like 20 other people agreed with me and they all said it was a mid to high 15 second car.
But you will never ever make him belive that, so you might as well save your time. |

You just found times for the 180hp model.. Congrats moron. Keep searching. http://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/940278.phtml This article compares the TT to the S2000. Talks about how the 225 can dip into the "5s" in 0-60 if launched properly: http://www.audiworld.com/features/roadtests.html http://www.fast-autos.net/audi/auditt.html http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/rivals_cars.htm And as a side note, our Audi cost less than a fully loaded Honda Accord.

my fully load accord does 0-60 in 5.9 and the 1/4 mile right around 14.2. Not to mention they are underrated and put almost as much power to the wheels as the 225 audi is rated for. And triple the options of the audi. Im not comparing cars I honestly don't care. I would never own the TT its too small for me. And im not fond of the of the looks, however an new S4 i wouldn't mind, or even the old school twin turbo S4 Last edited by drdingo21 : 04-20-2004 at 12:44 PM. |

As for dumping the clutch, that's what you call knowing your car.. revving to the RPM that will not break the tires loose, and will give you the best launch.

The accord comes with 6 disc in dash cd changer, touch screen navi, heated seats, Traction control, voice command, Homelink system, 6 speed, dual climate control, power seat, and thats all i can think of off the top of my head....
And its nowhere near cheaper, edmunds as the msrp at 35k for the 1.8t! Thats crazy, MSRP for my car is is 28 9, loaded like i listed above. i got it for 27,9. Even talking the dealer down on the TT youd be luck to see 33. |

Our TT was 31,000. We have the same options minus the navigation which was not worth an extra $2000, plus all wheel drive. Matter of preference I guess. We just wanted a sports car over a family sedan. |

And audiuse.com has the car equaly equiped like mine for 38,9. So you must have been giving the deal blow jobs to get your car for that price. Hell the 6 sp is a 1.5k upgrade. Which i assume you don't have.....

drdingo21 I'm a real honda fan, its too bad they sold one to you. Theres no need to come around here putting down a TT over your accord. They arent in the same class either. As for your accord, yes they are good value. NO ones questioning that.
Sounds like you wanted more car but couldnt get it. Hey dude, compaired to the RL i used to own yuor accord sucks. And a nice 545i comaired to my RL is better yet. See how it works, there are different levels/classes of cars. You have a family sedan, the TT isnt and you pay a price of a sports car. Get over your great accord and thats for coming out. |

Exactly.. not knocking the accord.. we actually looked at one, but couldn't see paying the same (or even close to it). And we prefered a sports car as opposed to a family sedan, which yes I sorry to say, your is. As for out handling the TT.. are you on crack? And yes the 180hp comes with a 5spd, while the 225 has a 6 speed. As for the price, we bought ours in December, a 2002 model that was still brankd new, 1 of 2 2002s left than we bought at close to dealer price which is what the dealer itself pays for cars. This must be your first new car as you most likely got raped by the dealer. And lastly... as for your car running 14.2.. who the hell lied to you?? Here is your link, check it out: http://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/...edans_data.pdf Try high 15s in the 1/4. 15.7 to be exact. lol |

With the exception of the 6 spd., that's a whole lotta crap I can do without. Navigation? Buy a map. Traction control? Learn to drive in bad weather. Heated seats? My ass is warm enough. Voice command? Geez...just reach over and touch the damn thing. Dual climate control? One A/C system is enough for me. Power seats? I can move my own. Oh...and I can change my CDs all by myself. From where I'm sitting you guys both paid too much for what you got. Hell, for less than what either of you paid I could've gone out and bought a nicely equipped 260hp GT. Now I'm sure someone will look around and try to find a site saying the even the GT is slower than brand X, but I've babied an '03 to a low 14. All of that being said...I think I'd drive the TT over an Accord. Nothing against Accords...I'm just not a huge fan of family sedans.

As a matter of fact I made a thread between the S4 and Is300. Money was no object. I like audi, and have nothing against it, i was just saying its extremely unlikely a 1.8t is running those times. He brought up value not me. I mean even common sense with the power to weight ratio. And looking around a little more, there are sites saying the TT weighs as much as my car. So you have 60+ less horse power and run the same times as the accord? Im just having a hard time spending more money on something that is less. And you also don't seem to get it. The accord ex v6 shares nothing with the sedan, they are two totally different cars. And if the TT is a sports cars its pretty sad a "sedan" is faster, better handling, and more options for about 8k less..... And im not bragging about my car, HE brought it up not me. And it seems both of you misunderstand the definition of sedan. My car is a coupe. The car is completely redesigned and shares NOTHING with the sedan. I quoted handling by skid pad numbers, nothing more. I dunno the slalom speed of the TT, but also there is no slalom for the accord either. And my 1/4 times, i was quoting what people were getting in real life. Not what road and track got. If you would like i can direct you to 15+ threads with time slips posted. Actually, heres one Quote:
There have been a couple at 14.1s, but most are around 14.2-14.4 And there are sedans with just an intake running 14.5s.... So you better get your figures straight. And to clarify one more time. Before you start talking shit about a car, you should at least know what car it is. The accord ex v6 never came in a sedan. ever. |
