TopGear video of the 3.2 TT available for download!!!
This video was broadcasted last night on UK television. It shows Jeremy Clarkson of TopGear reviewing the 3.2 TT (with "flappy-paddle shifting"!) in all his usual British sarcasm - love it or leave it ;-)
I've made the video available on my website: <a href="http://www.funkphibian.com/birdclock/download">HERE</a> (please right-click and "Save As").
Enjoy!!

That was pretty harsh...I haven't raced one like that, is the under/oversteer that...
...bad or is the production company just using questionable tires /driver? How unbiased is this?

Jeremy loved the new Audi S4
Unfortunately what he said is spot on. TT's understeer like pigs thanks to the MK2 suspension. Everytime someone on this board mentions a direct competitor to the TT the majority of the responses supporting the TT is based on the styling not performance. I think thats why he made the fashion references. In stock form the TT is not that great of a performer. I put a lot of work into my car and it still runs hot on the racetrack (Sebring). My cousins WRX ran all day, cool as a cucumber and made max boost without breaking a sweat. I love Audi, yes I like the styling, but I am disapointed that Audi didn't make the TT a true performer. Hopefully that will change going forward. I guess being the underdog is kind of fun.. I attached a link to the M3 vs S4 video, and you will see Jeremy Clarkson shower the Audi S4 with praise, so we can't chalk his TT comments up to brand bias. Here is another video from the UK with the 3.2TT getting it's *** handed to it by a 350Z on a roadcourse.

Sorry,
link to 3.2tt vs 350Z is dead
It was a Top Gear style UK show and they ran the 3.2 agains the 350Z on a roadcourse. The TT was 4 seconds slower!! That is a beat down..

High Dollar TT in GB
He says 30,000 pounds? That's over $52,000 at today's exchange rate. I doubt if I would have paid that much for my 3.2. But I still think I have a great car that will do everthing that I ask of it. I'll save the track time for my Formula Ford.
