We werent going over this.

Yah, i just did look and all I can say is, you must of got a hell of a
good jump on me in NY. (WE only did do the drag thingie once. Not really
a baseline of what to expect on power differences and we've already
talked about the weight issues.)
Ive run against the Pottermans 16V GTi several times. We've had MANY stop
light wars. 

(Go look at HIS dyno sheet. Its on my page. I'll wait.) 

Now, dont you wish you had his motor? heh! The majority of the time (read
consistently) I can pull a car length or two on him and stay ahead until
3rd gear, when he catches and passes me. It just depends on how well he
launches ect. 
So why is it that I can pull on his 16V like that? Which i'll add makes
more HP and torque than your 16V does. (And dont excuse it with "its the
driver" because thats crap. Mikes a good driver.)

Yah but I bet he spanks yer ass. 
Wheres his dyno sheet at?

Easy. It pulls hard down low, thats how. 
Have you ever driven an 8V?
2.0L 16v?

Hes picking on you Michael, dont take no crap from him, punch him in the
nose! :)
