Re: Scirocco vs. GTi

["Peter Walsh" <cerksies@hotmail.com>]

Im not sure exactly what the numbers are, but even the 2L GTi's are 
slower then our 1.8 16v sciroccos.  They are way heavier and have more 
toys on them....  I have pulled under 8 secs 0-60 (7.53 to be exact), 
Thats faster then my friends G60 Corrado (he has 120K, rebuilt Glader, 
sport wires, CoolFlo w/ ITG, same size tires, STAGE III, etc).  The 
fastest he ever pulled has been a 7.8.  I dont know about the wheelbase, 
but i believe its either the same or longer then ours (kinda like how 
the GTI has more room, and so does the jetta).  But anyway, the 1.8L 16v 
GTis are Dogs for some reason. Especially on the highway. What is wrong 
w./ them??
