Ok the R4 2.0TFSI will handle a little better then a 3.6 VR6 FSI.
The TTS (1395 Kg) is just 15 Kg lighter then a 3.2 TT (1410 Kg) and a 3.6 will most likely weight the same as a 3.2.
But for the few time's a year i spend on the Nordschleife or in mountain terrain like Luxembourg or switzerland a 3.6 VR6 FSI would do just fine for me.
I'm not a weekly track junky most of the time i'm in traffic.

You have to remember that the TT/S uses larger heavier brakes among other things so the two cars aren't exactly like for like when you are discussing their overall weight. I think we all need to step back from that debate on the engine choice and see just how good the car is as an overall package.
I take neither yourself or SigmaS6 will be potental customers so why knock something you won't even consider.

Noise is easy to make. A ricer 115 horsepower Civic with a cofee can exhaust will make just as much noise as a 490 horespower F430. With eyes closed you wouldn't tell the difference all that well.
Already the stock TT 2,0T matches S5 and even TT 3,2 around a track. With Quattro and 72 BHP more, those too will be hopelessly lost. The S5 is entirely different kind of car, though, and desiarable on its own grounds.
As for number of cylinders, it's the size of the engine which enables this car to go as fast as it does. Döööh. I have an S3 and compared it in on numerous occasions with A3 3,2's (only 15 BHP less). There's no way I'd wanna switch to the 6 cylinder.
I agree with the exhaust pipe remark, though. But more on a general note. I think people (including yourself, it seems) are ridiculously hung up on this. For me, the ideal would be if pipes were entirely hidden, like on some diesels.

One incredibly smart looking little car and next to the R8 it's Audi's best looker.

I liked the TT but i start to move further and further to the A5 3.2 FSI Quattro S-Line or S5.
The V6 3.2 FSI Valve-Lift engine have tuning potential, with chip exhaust and metal cat's you can get 300> hp out of it.
