Three truisms about the second generation car...

2953 · 07-04-2006, 01:43 PM

... 1. Dynamically, the new car is an order of magnitude better than ANY individual-modded first gen car.

2. The 3.2 250 is a responsive as hell with DSG, sorry, S-Tronic. Throttle crispness and shift character/quality are a significant step beyond the first generation version of the same drivetrain.

3. With an extra 52HP more than the hottest ever to leave the factory, magnetic ride and a lightened (i.e. decontented) interior, the 302 is more fun to drive than an M4 coupe. Far more mechanical feeling than the Bimmer, too. That last point was a BIG surprise.

More stuff tomorrow 'bout this same time. I gotta get some sleep, it's a quarter 'til midnight here.

and that the subculture among us who appreciate Audi for performance and style (not necessarily luxury) might be able to order a 'lighterweight' car from the factory without an extensive modification program. The factory does some truly impressive work (my best memory of that is winning the 2004 TT-East autocross with a stock 250 [okay it had 245's on it] against a broad spectrum of modded 225s. Can you tell me (via email if you'd like) whose ear at Audi of America I should bend to see if we can't get at least one high performace version of the TT packaged without so much luxury focus? Thanks much.
