sorry but i disagree. The old ones could be classed as birds cars but i dont think the new ones are. The TTs and RS can be very capable. The TTs is 260bhp as standard. Just a remap sees it way over 300bhp with good torque. Would be less laggy than the cossie. Also because of the haldex setup once it has grip the power moves pretty much all to the front so loses less power through the drivechain. I think a standard one would still be close with the cossie.Cossie would just do it. If the tts was remapped then maybe the tts.

The ttrs is definately not a birds car and is a different league. The transmision takes over 650bhp as standard. Dry sumped as standard.Remap and exhaust sees 430bhp. with a bigger turbo,manifold,big cooler and clutch they make 665bhp at the fly and 604 at the wheels with 526 of torque at the from the 5pot engine.... Thats with standard internals.700bhp is fairly easy to make and it will take it all day long.

Look up stg3 ttrs on youtube.

Cossies are fast for what they are.
