How fast is a 2.0L 16v Mk2?

[6keb1@qlink.queensu.ca (Kareem)]

Yeah, the 1.8T is not chipped but it is brand new (2002, 180hp)...That's
why I'm worried. I might have to get some cams first to give the 'ol Roc
a sporting chance. I'm not sure what 1/4 I could run, but I'm guessing 16
sec or just under, unless anyone has real world experience..(yes I am
realistic!) But I do love the low end torque of the stock 9A...it has a
very 8v like 'on-cam' feel between 2k-3k rpm  when you  step on it. I
don't want to give that up!
