Hmm, that is interesting. I would be curious to drive and compare them again now
. It could have very well been my mindset at the time, that the 3.0TT is slower before I even drove it
. Obviously the power delivery is different too, so a N/A motor could seem faster to some (in comparison to turbos), even if it is not.
I did like the power of my Red Sport, but at the end of the day it just wasn't a car that I loved. Again, I don't enjoy these cars that you have to stomp on it to have any sort of power feel. The LT1 motor for example, if you have a thought about giving it fuel, it is ready to go. I had the dynamic sunstone red (I believe it is called). For starters, I'm typically not a big fan of red, but that color is unique to the RS trim, so I thought why not. That and I think there just weren't enough improvements (or new things) that my 3.7 Q50 didn't have; I had a brand new car again, but in many ways it felt the same.
