Many moons ago I raced Go Karts (“Back of the Pack” was my Race Team) and soon discovered that this was a young person’s sport because of the physical demands put upon an aging body. But it did expose me to a level of the huge forces generated by a racing chassis and instant responses transmitted through the seat and steering wheel. Everyone should take a go it, winning is not everything, but being there is forever.

All of this came back when I drove this 2013 Audi TT RS. Except it had AC. And a killer Radio. And Navigation and comfortable seating and heat and and and… In fact, it was loaded with everything Audi offers with the TT package as accessories. And of course, it was really, really quick as I found on I-5 when we needed to get parts from Hansen’s BMW (they did offer to throw it in the mail, but we “needed” it today). On the drive back with the radio going, it was incredibly relaxing setting the cruise and enjoying the precision of control offered up.

This particular car has 28,215 miles from new showing. Things that should be known immediately is that it is a manual transmission car, that it came equipped with the $2000 Carbon Fiber Package, including the mirrors and rear spoiler and Sports Exhaust. It is an outstanding driver, capable of relaxed long distance touring or banzai blasts down canyon roads or straight line rushes.

As for basic mechanical specifications, the RS version of the TT is AWD and pushed by a Turbo Charged 5 cylinder 2.5 liter generating 360 HP. It uses a Halex center differential to control drive between the front and rear axles which is electronically monitored. Weight is about 3300 pounds and 0-60 is 4 seconds. Cold facts that generate a great driving experience. Provided with the car are complete services records starting at about 12,000 miles. An Extended Service Contract, good until 01/29/2020 is assumable for a $50 transfer fee.

Miles are 28,315 and the VIN# is TRUB3AFK2D1900516. The selling price is $39,575. For other interesting bikes and collectable vehicles, visit our web site http://www.automaniagp.com 541 479 8888 or come by and see us at 895 SE Gladiola Drive, Grants Pass, Oregon, 97526. Oregon Dealer DA1287.
