Default So i picked up my TT on saturday..........

Picked up my 2002 TTC 225 Raven/Ebony with audio, 5 spokes and premium early saturday morning and whoa, i am loving this car. I've already driven 670 km and it's been filled with some quality driving, both semi-racing and cruisin. Have had the chance to race a random S4, TTC 225 and the various pretend imports (civic, integra) only to be severely impressed by the TT handling and overall power, and i do mean overall because that torque range is superrific But what really made my day today was a chance to test my TT against a friend's 2001 S8, well what can i tell you, i was quick off the line and kept a hoodlength ahead of the S8 until about 140km/h where it started to pull away slowly. Now just the fact that a 225hp 1.8T can keep up with the flagship 360hp 4.2 is beyond me. I was expecting to get smoked hard and came out even (overall). Much respect for the Audi TT and all you Audi fanatics who have helped me on this website through the last year or two. I'm gonna go get some sleep so i can finish up my break-in tommorow, cheers to y'all and enjoy

Default Break-in period - ROTFLMAO.....if you see metal chunks in your oil, it's just break-in alloy. ;-)

It is a fun car, isn't it. Glad you're enjoying your TT.
