TT vs 911, 350Z, 300ZXTT, S2000, Type R, 325Ci

[Rai]

Went for a drive day with some mates out through winding country roads. The little bug did very nicely indeed. What was there:

* stock 2003 911 targa
* stock S2000
* 2003 350Z with titanium exhaust
* 300ZX twin turbo, exhaust
* 2002 Integra Type R, suspension
* 325Ci, m3 suspension/wheels

The first run i had was with the 911 from about 100km/h upwards on some big empty sweepers... was pretty even till about 150 where he started slowly easing away.

Had a few side by side 2nd gear roll on's with the S2000... of course I let him reach his powerband before we went. Every time I would easily pull away.

The 350Z was closer... but I was still able to ease away slowly.

In the tight corners there was no competition... the grip and surefootedness of 4WD saw to that.

Don't want to get into a debate over the supposed performance based on paper specs etc. Was no competition but rather a fun day seeing how the various cars did against each other and based on driver-car combinations my bug and I did real good. Was good fun!

Nice Pics Rai

Putty Rd. is an old favourite. A great drive day for Sydney based Audis would be breakfast at Dural, then Putty Rd via Windsor with lunch in the Hunter Valley. Return journey via the Old Pacific Hwy. Good variety of driving conditions with plenty of twisties.

OK

OK then, who's up for it, on a Sunday sometime before Christmas ?
If enough interest, I'll organise the venues for breakfast and lunch. Post replies in Events section

Wow, Rai your car looks stunning! What's the spec on it (sorry, newbie to this forum and didn't catch the old one)? 8)
