Treat myself and come to work in it and came across a TTRS on the autobahn,rolling at around 80mph, car infringe pulled over and we were off all the way to 170 before knocking it off for traffic,I had a 97 Ron fuel as its just a long boring motorway run to work and a fair bit of kit in the car,he was 1 up,absolutely nothing in it neck and neck all the way until we had to brake,no signs of it being nodded so probably stock,my car is 460ps so approx 80 over a std healthy rs4 so would imagine stock vs stock the 4 ain't gonna fair too well?

Excuse the HTC typos

already tried this mate

stock TTRS with stock RS 4 avant

lets just say its not really a contest

So my car was running properly then! I would imagine you pull a few car lengths at least on a stock rs4? 0-60 times are similar for both cars stock is it above that the tt performs well?

its 2 things

1. the B7 doesnt run to stock PS

2. S-Tronic gear changes make all the difference vs. the manual

although, i would have thought at higher speeds, like yours the B7 would have an advantage as the 5pot starts to loose puff after 100

and wait till the TT is mapped, RS4 will be a fat blip in the rear view

yes thats the thing

5 mins at MRC and you've got 60 more PS

I couldn't find 0-100 times in the back of EVO to compare,the lad was well up for getting a shift on so maybe it was mapped? I have to say its the only car I've come across that's lived with the RS4 in its current state of tune

to keep up with your 460PS car, id say it was defo mapped

I've done this against a TT-RS also with me and kids in the car with a bootfull of Tesco goods and the TT-RS pulled 4 car lengths on me and I managed to hold the gap to him (1up) thereafter until we hit traffic. So yes it is quick but I wouldn't say it was night and day? That was from 30mph onward rolling start.

S Tronic won't show as much advantage when starting at 80... Third maybe fourth gear?

4 car lengths is quite a lot !

.......

That's subjective, you're supposed to have more than that as a distance gap so not really. Plus as said I'm running with kids, seats and shopping so effectively 2 up vs 1up. Like said not a blip in his rear view mirror / night & day.

Don't get me wrong, I like the TT-RS and you know that but they are not that much faster and I was carrying more!

when mines fixed PG, i'll come oooop norf and we can do a few tests
