i think most of it depends on the driver but since you asked Audi s4s subaur STIs (or foresters like mine with sti motors) evos zs chevy colbolts and dodge srt 4s iftuned right pack quite a punch. I am an importguy crossing over to more american cars but i respect all cars in General.

Which TT? Possibly the V6 quattro with a perfect launch and an amazing driver but otherwise I havn't read anything online or in C/D or motortrend to suggest that. Plus as stated above, the are in low 14 sec territory.

The stock STI was faster from both 0-60 and in the 1/4 than the shelby GT when edmunds did their side by side test!( but then again, thats just edmunds) LOL

Using that logic if EVERYONE wanted to be as fast as ever we could all go pick up used C6/C5 Z06's for under MSRP of a 2010 deluxe GT
Which isn't a bad idea
But to the original point, the 370Z using the VQ37 is the only N/A V6 on the market I know of (car, not the motor) that can put distance on an S197 GT, just based solely on weight. The genesis and 350Z are inferior by a good margin in straight lines, hell the genesis can't even handle as well as a mustang. Stock VR6's, etc. all can't really step up.
The good thing is Ford realized that the High compression V6's are catching up to the modular 4.6 in performance because of the shells they're being put in. We have 2011 to look forward to to see what kind of changes we can see to the heart of the mustang.
to the OP you might want to get yourself dyno'd, maybe a driver mod and see where you're at, you shouldn't be losing to an Audi TT.

But if it was a v6 then it wasn't turbo'd. They only offered the 1.8t and vr6 for the first gen audi tt and then the newest gen added a diesel, and an I5 with a turbo, but still no v6 turbo, IIRC.
