Audi TT 3.2 V6 Roadster!

Much to my amusement and not to the amusement of the guy driving the TT.

From slip road on to empty dual carriage way, the Vrs was in its element really.

This little car still puts a smile on my face even after 2 years of ownership! Oh and its still standard engine wise apart from pd160 trumpet inlet thingy!

:popcorn:

The TT driver wasn't trying.

Discuss.

Sometimes is does suprise you what they can keep up with. I was keeping up with an MG ZS180 the other day on a nice long run. Engine wise mine has a panel filter and the PD160, we had a quick chat after, and he was very suprised.

Just wait for the usual briskoda hate mails to come in now bud.

hahaha oh well... i m sure i ll sleep well tonight anyway!

i m still keen to get some more power out of it though once monies allow, should be even more smile inducing!

never...end of.

Agreed. End of.

130bhp vs 250bhp.

Don't think so.

....quicker to fill up the fuel tank... yes

130bhp vs 250bhp.

Don't think so.

236 lb/ft vs 228 lb/ft is another way of looking at it.

*climbs inside flame suit*

Its not all about torque

But t that kind of BHP it doesn't really matter, the way I see it.

Well no, if the TT driver is

a) prepared for a race

any sort of driver

c) knows he has to redline it to use his 250bhp

But then TT's are just as likely to be driven by hairdressers as car nuts

But neither are good to be in, wheels skywards.

Seen whats left of a TT that ended up on its roof, and unsurprisingly no one in it survived.

Taking some base figures, assuming both cars make official figures...

Audi TT 3.2 Roadster

1560kg, 246bhp, 236 lb-ft & 4 wheel drive

160.22 bhp/ton & 153.71 lb-ft/ton at the flywheel

124.97 bhp/ton @ the wheel taking into account 22% transmission loss

119.89 lb-ft/ton @ the wheel taking into account 22% transmission loss

Fabia VRS

1315kg, 130bhp, 229 lb-ft & Front wheel drive

100.45 bhp/ton & 176.94 lb-ft/ton at the flywheel

85.38 bhp/ton @ the wheel taking into account 15% transmission loss

150.4 lb-ft/ton @ the wheel taking into account 15% transmission loss

From those brief calculations you can conclude that the Audi has 39.59 more bhp/ton @ the wheel but the fabia has 30.51 more lb-ft/ton @ the wheel.

You've missed out the rather important fact that torque and power generated are inextricably linked.

Here's something for you:

The Audi, having a petrol engine, is able to generate power over a far wider rev range than a diesel. That's why it's able to produce far more power than your Fabia, whilst capable of developing less torque than a diesel unit.

c) knows he has to redline it to use his 250bhp

Both left the traffic lights at the same time**, knowing full well both cars would accelerate hard.

I wouldnt class myself above many people in terms of my driving ability, never done a track day or 1/4 mile drag. I tend to see how many miles i can get to a tank of fuel to be honest with you.

Well being a 'younger' driver and driving a nice car one would suspect he would infact know that he needs to rev his engine to get performance out of it!

**This should be explained from a rolling start as the traffic lights where green!

Shurely Shome Mishtake? Aren't there several members of the 'rolled a Fabia' club on here?

It is a heavy car that TT - 1523kg!

Here's something for you:

explain how this is a problem to my at the wheel figures taking into account weight? I feel i have left no 'rather important' facts out when doing these quick calculations.

Wrong. Audi driver wasn't trying. End of.

While your sums are correct, they're not relevant.

Saturday nights entertainment.

While your sums are correct, they're not relevant.

how are they not relevant? Power and Torque @ the wheel taking into account weight... you ll find these are massively relevant to performance on the road.

Come on, we all know in a proper drag race on an airfield the TT will pee all over the Fabia. But in the not ideal conditions of a sliproad drag race, where (I hope) neither driver was aiming for 120+, the power to weight and torque to weight figures are not a million miles apart. Doesn't the Fabia do 30-70 in a similar time to a Boxster?

worthless thread, because people will alway argure about it, was he trying, torque at certain revs etc... He might have done he might not have done, my next door neighbour had a 2.5 petrol bmw and he was trying and my dads vrs crushed him, he even comment on how he was gutted. But then people will start saying to me (he want trying blah blah) just lock the thread...

Pyscho....................You may as well give up now before the pack tears you too little pieces
