Pretty much every car site I've ever been on, people regularly post their dyno sheets to back up what they have to say. But whatever, go ahead a flame me and try to portray me as being unreasonable for just for something as simple as asking to see a dyno sheet.

I understand that 4-wheel dynos are somewhat rare, but I don't understand your negativity.

An Audi TT w/ that kind of turbocharger, AWD, and that kind of boost.. should have an advantage on a STOCK z.. those turbochargers are badass and if he's got a manual wastegate control then he can raise or lower the boost whenever he wants.. im sure it would be a good race, probably close enough where the driver would determine who would win.. stock vs. stock.. we all know who would win that one.. but a TT w/ the upgrades on this TT is a different story.. this car sounds pretty sweet.. i'd like to see pics as well!

not that my opinion counts, but it seems to me like 4SFEDTT (cool name BTW) was just walking through the neighborhood smiling and waving hello to all the neighbors, and out of nowhere m477 pushes up and yells, "whazzup cuz, what you packin...cuz you aint **** around here."

at this point I am dissapointed that the whole thread was ruined by this alpha male ********....

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Thanks to those with the positive feedback.

Here are some random pics (in no chronological order) of my TT.
There are mods like rims and spoiler waiting to go on..but for the most part this is how the car looks now!

Gastons2k, sounds like a lot of fun. I'd love to participate so count me in.

why does everyone here have to flame those who come in talking about non Z's? I mean come on, the fellow with the TT did not flame the car. He has a hot car as well, and obviously is an enthusiast of sports cars. I do think I am driving what must be one of the hottest cars out, but I apprieciate others too.

Nice looking TT ya got there.

I'm glad in all you've done to it you haven't messed the appearance.

Stock looking monsters are the best.

m477...u are the bad guy here...haha..

y is it so hard to believe that a less hp car can beat or catch up to a 350z...

there are MANY factors that determine the result of a race...hp is just one of them...

Christ, you're a moron. And yeah, I'M flaming you. You don't understand the negativity? Do you come from a village behind the hills where people use dried leaves as currency? See quote:

I thought stock is about 1.0 bar (a little over 15psi), so he would be making maybe 240 crank hp tops. So a stock z should hand him his *** pretty easily.
Not only have you displayed a complete lack of automotive intelligence, you also seem to lack common sense in general. So please, shutup.

If you are in here, great run! Hope to catch you again.
The original message was not lost on me. Thanks for the "shout out" an respect. Not all 350Z drivers are defensive and interested in proving who has the biggest dic...ur...package. You do have one pretty sweet ride. To that I say nuff respect.

Win or lose in a "race", you get the thumbs up from me. Now if I were driving that MacLaren F1 I am sure I would be a big time A-hole about how good my car is. But, with 1 million dollars I am sure ANYone could make the 350Z faster than any other road car. Please, my brothers (and sisters), lets be mature and responsible citizens or we will end up with another "my mustang is faster than your nissan" thread.

One last point, I have read many of the other "visitors" we get here. 4SFEDTT, you are alright in my book. Thanks for visiting, come back when you stay longer. That's my peace.

well 2 things, the TT costs almost 10grand more than the Z, plus mod money.

but the second thing is that the TT is a really cool car, nice interior, and awd. one day we can all learn neither is made to dragrace.

good show tho, so long as you had fun, it was all good.

My 850 turbo pretty easily handed a white G35 coupe it's azz last week and I'm about the same weight FWD and geared terribly with an automatic and something between 275 - 285 hp (claimed numbers from chip company). Don't know anything about the G35 other then he laid some hard rubber into 2nd when he got pissed that a volvo had about a car length on him and pulling away.

Don't be so quick to condem him because HP numbers aren't as high. There are alot of varibles... Gearing, and launch (quattro helps) play a big part. Gearing can be a big part. The short gear ratios don't do the Z any favors due to it's LACK of top end. The car has falling torque from about 5000 rpm on. I don't know anything about the Audi so I can comment on that but perhaps he was holding with him. It certainly wouldn't surprise me.
