I think a better title for this thread would have been "TT or V8,Which Do You Prefer And Why?" Less provocative!!

Morgan, is it a "typical" TT drivers response to think you can categorise anyone into those type of categories just because of the car they drive?

How often do you take your performance TT to the track?

From what I can see, you haven't even got a result on Peter Scott's dyno chart.

The way I see it (Also doubles as a fire starter)

V8 = for the older fake lexus wannabe types

really?..so, the V8 drivers are all fake lexus wannabes?

TT = For the power freaks who don't care for features, they just want a nice comfortable performance car.

i wont stereo-type TT drivers, who in many alleged 'fake lexus wannabees' eyes, could be the biggest hazards on the roads today...like younger'my dick is bigger than your dick' wannabee road heroes...but that would be stupidly stereotypical, wouldnt it...

Before someone says "But Morgan, the V8 is a perforamnce car too", It's NOT.

neither is the TT...ask any GTR, WRX, or even GTHO driver...

I like My TT for its performance and how silky smooth it goes about it's operation. It wasn't designed as a performance sports car but it fits the category quite well. The JASMA exhaust has a really good note too. V8's now they sound good too, my brother in law has an SLR 5000 with twin 3" pipes and it sounds great BUT the best sound is the sound of a Caribou's twin Radial's idling on a still day with the feathered props ticking over. Now, the sound of power, F111 few seconds into it's take of roll--- Afterburner kicks in with a crack and it roars off down the strip reeling of continuous thunder until it is out of site.
I was gonna leave it there but then found my shovel and had to have a dig.

V8's <=====> Caribou, nice throbbing powerful sound

Jet engines at zone 5 <====> TT's when their screaming you know their going somewhere fast.

V8's sound of low down torque and muscle
TT's sound of serious and frantic acceleration.

Or is it all just hot air...?

so if there is no substitute for cubes..can someone explain exactly what use does your extra cubes do? yet to see a v8 with extra cubes displace a tt down the quarter ..even with a supercharger..

My care factor is so low it's not measurable. I don't cheat using racing fuel / removing air filters / removing all engine belts, I'm not welcome on such a chart.

Yes, it's rare to see a try hard Lexus wannabe loser TT driver, it's always the 40yo balding, fat wife owning loser types who want to recapture their youth by putting on some kind of an act that they have a lexus.

Seriously, go look, 4/5 lexus badged cars are older V8 owning members.

You don't cheat, heck, you don't even participate. But let's rectify that.

As a valued member of SC, I am inviting you to get your car dyno'd so it can be added to the list.

Getting some track day experience would be a good fun thing to do too.
Seriously, a look through the profile pics shows that Lexus badges are probably split about 50/50 on V8's and TT's.

And the badges don't say any more about a person than the engine type does.

No argument, I believe the GT-TL to be the ultimate Soarer experience, you get the looks, power, handling and a few nice little gadgets too, an overall light vehicle (When compared to other Soarers)

But, as Jason said, apples / oranges, I could never drive a V8, I have too much self respect and I don't drink enough beer to be elligible
