Audi TT vs Mazda RX8...
And its a 2.0TT Convertible DSG...
Rx8 have to win or it will suck so bad...losing to a poswer car! I am not really sure about the torque though hm...CHECK IT OUT! http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos-08...-Mazda-RX8.htm |
i dont get it..... looks lame anyway
|
Well, the coupe version 2.0TTT should give rx8 more hell...
1/4 mile @ 14.5sec is a good time for rx8 tho! |
Good driver or not, that dude is a tool
|
Thats nice to see. It won in every category!
|
Not surprised by the outcome - a fwd 2.0L turbo Audi TT isn't in the same performance class as our cars. The tables might have been different if the v6 awd TT was tested (but that model is even more expensive).
For those that can't view the video at work, the test results were: Willow Springs lap times Audi TT = 1'41.26 RX-8 = 1'39.99 1/4 mile drag race Audi TT = 14.8 RX-8 = 14.5 |
thanks^^^
work firewalls suck. getting around them is easy, but the fear of possibly being noticed one day and the consequences it brings.... |
If its a Audi TT coupe 2.0T manual...the results may be different...even if its FWD.
|
Results can be found here.

the new audi's(yes plural) are so gorgeous:) :eyetwitch |
ok i just actually watched the video....they use the base model fwd 2.o convertable
get the 250p coupe quattro...it would have been a diff story.....they went easy on the 8 |
i actually traded in a modded a4 quattro w/tiptronic for the rx8. out of everything i test drove, the rx8 was the only thing that was an upgrade. everything else felt like a step back. i also test drove the tt. you can look at the times all you want, but the feel of the cars is the real difference. having had datsun 280z's, a prelude, an rx7 turbo II, toyota mr2 spyder, a boxster, and the a4 quattro, nothing beats a mid-engine (even if front mid-engine ala the rotary) layout. others may be faster, but you'll enjoy the drive more in a mid-engine.

Haha, prius vs hybrid civic!!!

Powering the wrong wheels didn't stop the Audi from posting the second-best time around the track, though, and it came away with the shortest braking distance, too. It also earned top marks in fuel economy, both from the EPA and our aggressive drivers. -Car and Driver |
Wow the RX8's check engine light came on lmao!
|
even break better
It's spelled 'brake'. You also misspelled consensus....... S |
Thank you grandma police
I mean gramma shxt I mean... Grammar keke |
Just sayin'.
When you can't spell the word 'brake', it casts doubt over ALL your data, and makes you look like a dolt. Just sayin...... S |
but its not my dada gma....its from car and driver!~ T_T
|
Finally a person who can drive the RX-8 like it was meant to be driven.
I like the mini furai sound coming from the RX-8 at high rpms.... :) Good find, good video, drivers comments were status quo in my book. |

I do admit that I find the TT mkII very attractive exterior wise. When I no longer value driving experience as much and I have more coin, I would consider a Quattro version...... nah I'd get a Cayman.

The Audi 2.0T did better than the RX-8 at the hands of the Stig though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_Test_Track Sam Hubinette is a drifter FWIW. |
So two tests, one showing the 8 being faster and the other (C&D) showing the TT being faster...
Either way, the 8 was preferred in either, but that said, the new TT is leaps and bounds better than the old one. |

So that means the FWD TT mkII with 201hp was better than the mighty 333hp M3 then eh? :)
