Also, from a roll, I can attest that my M2 with 1800km odo pulls on an RS3 and a CLA45. From a roll. Other tests show that the M2 is significantly faster from 60-100kph and 80-120kph than the new TT-RS, a car that is not regarded as slow by anyone.

Hate to spoil the fact mate.

The in gear acceleration figures quoted in the German magazine (TTRS vs M2) for the

60-100 km/h run were in 4th and 5th gear
80-120km run were in 5th,6th and 7th gear

If the run was the done in 2nd gear for the 60-100km/h and in 3rd gear for the 80-120km the result would be much different.

It shows that the TT-RS is more laggy than the M2 because of the smaller capacity engine and also running on a bigger turbo charger.

In absolute terms the TT-RS will be much quicker on a straight but it has to be in the right gear.
