Default 350z vs. Audi TT

I've been hearing alot about the 350z's; however, I'm still partial to the TT's. Can someone please tell me the pros of TT's over 350z's so I can make my decision?

Default out of the box the Z is the better performance car....

The TT has higher build quality, better interior materials, arguably better styling inside and out, AWD and lots of mod potential. TT is slightly more practical, more cargo space (Z has that large crossbrace) and better mileage.

Default like kmac says AWD = greater assurance in every weather.

TT - greater creature comforts than 350, better styling interior and exterior.
cons - maintainance $$$, mods are more expensive, top of the line TT is slower out of the box than Track Z

I cant think of any more.

Default I dont know about stock vs. stock but...

I have raced several 350z's on and off the drag strip and the only one I couldn't beat was a twin turboed 12.5sec 350 w/ slicks... I even took out a modified 350 that claimed he ran 13.5s 2 times in a row! I know our cars handle better and just plain look better, not to mention they can easily outperform with light modification...350s look cheesy not to mention they lack the nice interior the TT has, if you want class, a better performer and just plain not a rice rocket that every brother and his mother has...the TT is the way to go!

Drive them both and make your own decision.

Default I put a few hundered miles on a Z early in '04...

Styling preferences aside (I like both), the Z had far inferior interior quality, cheap switchgear, ZERO rear vision, seat's too low, shift pattern was too close. The Z feels brutal at any speed (PITA around town) Excellent clutch, launches, tracking, neutral cornering, excellent brakes. But that damn crossbrace, no luggage room. Glovebox is (arghhh) behind the seats. If I drove aggressively all the time, I'd pick the Z or better yet an S2000, but I prefer the refinement of the TT, or the G35 Coupe.
