Guys,

So, I was in a freeway in a beautiful day.
Suddenly, One audi TT (Not the new one) tried to race me.
I was about to race him, but my GF was with me at that time.
My car is 525i,
Do you guys think I would win the race if I do it?
I have no idea how fast TT can go.
I hope my car is 550i

i used to own an audi a4.. depending on the year it either had 150hp or 180hp.. if it was the 150 hp it would have been a close race maybe... if it was the 180hp i dont think you would have won.. pwr/weight ratio...... tt is alot lighter..

really gta know what audi it was, but hey you have 4 door sedan against a 2door sport coupe.

A common saying comes to mind

E60 M5 vs FERRARI 36O Modena

Winner = M5

Family saloon beats 2 door supercar

I thought S200 was about as fast as a 545i in straight line under 80 mph?

yes at 80mph but once over then any car can beat it.

There are several versions of the Audi TT, which can be quite a nasty opponent. I have driven several TT?s (especially with 180hp) and they are quite fast, not even talking about the 225hp one I once drove.

And the after-facelift one?s are even faster, you have engines going up to 240 and 250hp. As already pointed out, they are lighter, so a BMW 525i would stand no chance against them.

Here a short vid of a 1.8T (180hp) I shot, sorry about the bad quality, I needed to shift gears. But I hope you get the idea.
