Found my Z06 replacement
Well, that didn't take long. I have been looking for a replacement for a few months now and exactly what I was looking for came up for sale, so I am going to buy it before I sell my Z06. Pretty pumped. 2018 TT RS Nardo Gray.

At Gila Bend, my first event, I was parked next to an Audi 4 cylinder with the head off. Later that day he trapped at 187 in the half mile. Enjoy.
I'll miss your build posts.

I guess that most of you don't know that this car will dip into the 9's with tires, a few bolt on's and an E85 tune. I can afford to keep both but I see no reason why I should. There is no doubt that the Z06 is a better road race car, but it is hard to beat AWD in any other situation.

If you say so, and yes the interior is very nice and all the reviews talk about how well it drives and so on. But none of these people have owned an Audi outside the warranty period. Audi's are not designed to be worked on. Any mechanical repair takes 50 to 100% longer than on comparable brands and parts costs are shy high. When you hit 50K to 60K miles your tires will wear out quickly. Why, all the suspension bushings are shot. So when you bring it in for service/repair just remember to have lots of personal lubricant, your going to need it. You will soon find out what Audi means. Audi = "Ought not buy one."

Not accurate at all. I have 2 audi's one of which just turned 100k miles and I haven't had to replace a single bushing. They have their quirks like every other car and brand but the TT line (MQB platform) has proven to a very reliable package and the RS is over built in just about every way. The amount of power and abuse they are putting through the trans is pretty amazing given its size.
OP, I have a stage 3 TT that the wife dalies. It's full stage 3 with just about every mod you can throw at it short of upgraded clutch packs. It is quicker than my supercharged Z out the hole but from a roll above 60 I blow her doors off every time I can get traction :PThe TT interior and refinement is really nice but if it was my only fun car I think I would likely only keep it a year because it lacks the excitement I get from the Z. For some reason it's hard to keep people from calling it cute. I think because of the size. If you have the ability I highly recommend you try to keep the Z for a bit as you might get bored with the TT. I've been a life long VW/Audi fanboi and I'm hoping to switch out my MK7 GTI with a RS3 later this year as my daily when i'm not driving my Duramax.

Nice !!!!
I want an RS7 but my head keeps telling me I don't need another 600+ HP car in the garage.
I want to take a look at the new RS5 Sportback too........they look like a smaller RS7
