Maybe so,but it was impressive either way i expected to have the edge but didnt! Would the figures work out about right for 460 rs4 vs say 395 TTRS? I'm not so sure there's a fair weight difference too,maybe I did do ok if it was mapped? Wouldn't like to meet a mapped one at the lights that's for sure

I like the ttrs but it's so impractical, and it makes blokes look abit gay ;)

Do you think the 50-60ps difference would level the cars performance and compensate the weight etc? If so it must of been mapped,it certainly didn't run out of puff over 100mph it showed no signs of easing at 170 I think they would of stayed neck n neck all the way to flat out

You can’t really compare these cars on straight line performance alone.

-Granted the TTRS looks great, so does the RS4.
-The interior of the TTRS is pretty bland and colour less.
-The TTRS is flippin quick, but it is very sterile to drive - even when re-mapped ;)
-The RS4 is a crowd puller and always will be, sadly the TTRS blends in with the billion other TTs out there, damn it started seeing a lot of replicas too! After all it’s just a bumper, spoiler and wheels that separate really.
-I don’t think the TTRS will ever make a long lasting impression as the RS4 has done.

Had a run in with a colleagues TTRS and it is no way quicker than mine, particularly after a ton. That is stock though so I'd imagine the one in question was mapped or you had your handbrake on :-)

RS4 - YAY!
TTRS - GAY! Sorry DK.
