well thats it guys and girls im not convinced that all of that is true but still thougt id put it on here :D

cool m8

 

but it doesnt have 5 speed auto really does it?

i was told they only do the 4 speed that i have with overdrive

i have no idea mate just what the book says :)

0-60 7 secs ? they must have been towing a caravan.. lol

Or been in an N/A?

Or been in an N/A?

 

well write up states twin turbos so maybe he was just scared to bury the fast pedal into the carpet

although saying that mine is an n/a and when i still had 1st gear im sure i hit 60 faster than 7 seconds

max speed 143 .........wow i didnt know they were that slow .....!!! were they going up hill with a boot full of bricks or something

Those performance stats are for the NA car. Strange.

And the auto box is a 4 speed box, well actually 3 speed + over drive which then locks up which seems like a 5th but isn't.

the official literature stated the automatic TT was 7.5 0-60. wtf???????? youre supposed to advertise it not make people laugh at it!! :rofl:

interesting it says it hits 280ps at 6400rpm.

 

Below is a rolling road graph when my car ran standard, look at the rpm when it hits max HP
