Default TT review...What a joke!!!

While the TTR review sported a stunning model and some nice shots/angles of the beautiful TTR,(my car/color)this site (www.rev-mag.com) fails drastically in it's objectiveness overall.Grand reviews of Ferrari 355 Spyder.. Noooooohhh...Really? Get real!!! Credibility achieved using a few beautiful models..Zero..Writing ability of reviewers..Zero again...These guys are totally lame..

Ferrari 355 Spyder: http://www.rev-mag.com/355spyder3.htm

TTR: http://www.rev-mag.com/Audittroadster.htm

TT Coupe: http://www.rev-mag.com/TimmSaid1.htm

This guy Tiim Shih who did the "Tiim Said" on the TT is a total asswipe!!!

Default There was a magazine a few years ago called Outlaw Biker. It was written for men (I assume)

who found Easyrider too mainstream. This fella's writing style is very similar.

Default You are right...what a joke....

....Never heard of the magazine or publication, the website looks home-made at best by a child. And the writer has no real automotive driving credibility.

They seem to lean towards jap hot rod's more than anything, and certain sentences have a touch of ebonic's to them.

So just what am I supposed to take seriously here?
I'm laughing my *** off.

Default As a TTR owner, I think it is an accurate prespective...

It always depends on what you emphasize, and this car did not do it for the reviewer like it does for me. No matter what your perspective, 3500 lbs is a lot for a little roadster, and that weight does affect acceleration and handling negatively. Yes, quattro helps and yes, it handles better than most of the stuff out there. But compared to other roadsters in the dry, it just can't keep up (at least not without certain mods). Fortunately, I don't care about blowing off Boxsters. I like the the whole TT experience.

Agreed...that was a ridiculuous review. But really, how serious can you take a reviewer that puts some babe in every picture.
