Monday, three new TT coupes were tearing around the Nordschleife for time...
...<font color="003366"> A 200HP S-Tronic 2.0L FWD, a 250HP 3.2L S-Tronic Quattro and a 200HP 2.0L 6-speed manual <i>Quattro</i>. Bottom line, the 2.0L Quattro was able to pull lap times that averaged 17 seconds quicker than the last 225 Quattro run by the company.
The 3.2 was turning laps that were averaging twenty seconds under the best times attained by a first-gen 3.2 DSG.
Drove a couple of other "interesting" ones too. Won't be able to talk 'bout those for a while though. Now I've got to readjust my body clock. Long, long day today.</font>

Was thinking after I posted this, if it is down to about 8:15 that's 996 territory
And it's a really interesting data point since it's the same engine and essentially the same transmission (I assume the shift times are faster). So that 20 seconds is completely from the new chassis, very impressive. The new car is going to be alot better that people are expecting.
If there happened to be a 300hp variant of the TT that might be enough to get it close to some very interesting hardware (like the 997S, Ferrari 360, BMW M6).

It seems like it'll be faster than the B5 RS4 but the B7 RS4 has posted a sub-8 minute time
Given the times that Mr 4-numbers posted above the new TT isn't quite to that level. If it does hit the 8 minute mark though it'll be the bargain sports car of the decade.
