the weight balance is almost identical, the R32 is much more tested than the TT 3.2 the reason why it has better acceleration numbers (more tests = higher chance for good results). The different tires make the different in track perfromance, the TT 3.2 was fitted with Conti Sport Contact which are good allrounder but no real race track tires and the R32 with Michelin Pilot Sport
