Well, TTS is one talented small car. 272 HP and 350 NM of torque on a 1400 kg car (I have race buckets that save some weight but also have S-Tronic which adds around 20 kg).
TTS has neutral handling, once it loses front grip, the haldex coupling send the power to rear wheels. So there is slight oversteer tendancy in handling characteristic.
However, the problem is you cannot fully turn off the ESP. IT cuts the power or brakes the necessary wheel once 1- you lift off the throttle to slide the car, or 2-brake to slide the car or 3-you oversteer with throttle in some wild angle.
Corner entry and exit speeds are as much as E46 M3 and it is nearly as fast as M3. I had superchips stage 1 software for a while on the car which in return makes the car 303 hp and 400 NM. With the software, the car became faster than E46 M3; especially between 100-250 km/h speed band. I did 285 km/h on digital readout and 290 km/h on the speedo.
HOWEVER, as fun factor, there is no comparison against E46 M3; especially CSL. After all the cars I had owned, CSL remains as best drivers car ever made, IMO.
