Replying to: habitat1 (Mar 22, 2007 11:30 am) You must be confusing the new TT with the old. The new TT has an aluminum space frame and is some 300 lbs. lighter than the previous car. Car and Driver weighed the TT at 2960 lbs., which is lighter than the Boxster, Cayman, and 911.

Replying to: Car_man (Feb 15, 2007 4:20 am) This is not exactly true. The down payment goes to reducing the payoff amount on the lease, so you do not really lose the down payment. The payoff amount is the cost to purchase the car from the lease, and is the same amount for the insurance company to purchase the car from the leasing company, as in the case of an accident or if the car is stolen. The difference in the payoff amount and the street value of the car is refunded to you (or owed to the insurance company). I know this well because I have been through it.

Replying to: b6s4 (May 15, 2007 3:33 pm) You need to get ALL of your facts straight. The TT coupe (not roadster), 4-cylinder (not V6), front wheel drive (not quatro) weighs in at 2,965 lbs. Which IS still heavier than the Boxster (a roadster), Cayman and S2000. The V6 Quatro version of the TT coupe weighs in at 3,218 lbs, which is 100-150 lbs more than a 911 coupe. The roadster version of that model TT is up at least another 100 lbs. If you want to contend that the anemic 4 cylinder, FWD TT coupe is not a pig becuase it slides in at just under 3,000 lbs, that's up to you. But pig or not, that car is absolutely NOT A SPORTS CAR, unless you also define the New Beetle as one. By the time you give the TT, coupe or roadster, the proper engine and Audi's stubborn, heavy quatro only alternative to FWD (where's RWD?) you are back to comparing it to farm animals relative to weight. I believe in calling a pig a pig. You may want to consider the piglet version less offensive, but it's more competitive with econoboxes in performance than any of the other cars we are discussing here. |

Replying to: habitat1 (Apr 03, 2007 2:41 am) Trying to decide between a Caymans S, one with a color I like but has no chrono vs another color which is my second choice but with chrono which is better?, Is it true the sweet engine sound is a little different with the chrono? This is once in life time purchase for me and want to make the right choice.

Replying to: chander (May 19, 2007 4:33 am) Or if for some reason, you can't drive the one without the sport chrono, drive one with the sport chrono and decide if the difference between activating the "sport" button is worth taking your second choice in color. I can't tell if there is a difference in engine sound with just the sport chrono because I also have the sport exhaust which is also activated by pressing the sport button. There is a big difference with the sport exhaust, but I don't think much, if any without. The "sport" feature on the sport chrono increases the throttle and braking response. It is quite noticable in my 911S. It may not add to the objective performance figures, but subjectively the car feels quicker. Do either/both have PASM as well? That's standard on the "S" version of the 911, but I believe an option on the Cayman S.
