Faster than SLK 350 for sure and probably of the Z4 35i too. NOTE: i'm talking about the coupe version. Never driven the roadster that should be less performing. The TTS is faster than it feels. It feels "artificial" and a bit boring to drive, IMO, but if you meet it at the track is not easy to follow its pace. Finally the Boxster is the only true sport car of the group.
Similar but different cars. For different customers.
I test drove a 370 Roadster just for the fun of it. The 370Z Roadster is not quite as fast as the 35i on paper, nor does it feel as fast. Nothing like peak torque at 1500 rpms!!!! I've become somewhat of a torque junkie, with my 2009 35i and the 2007 Corvette Coupe (Z51) prior to that.
