<P>The car I was killing :) was a 2001 or 2002 model with only 9,000 miles on it. All leather, full power, a/c and a fatty stereo system. I even drove it after I raced with him and it wasn't feeling too torquey, but the speed was deceiving when you _finally_ got the thing spun up into the higher RMP's. My 4 cyclinder 16v _definitly_ spun up way faster.</P>
<P>For those who don't know...my motor is worked. P&P head, Autotech cams, springs and retainers, bored to 2008, 11.2:1 compression, balanced bottom end. I don't have a/c, power steering, and I had the car weighed w/o driver.. it's 2100 lbs. Since I'm in California I'm still running a cat, at least for a few more months ;).</P>
<P>Come and see it at the ND show next weekend if you haven't already.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>i tell you, i'm missing the chipped a2 vr6 gti that i traded my roc
<DIV></DIV>>for. that thing was FAST. i can't imagine any na scirocco being
<DIV></DIV>>able to hang with that thing. and the handling, imho, was far better
<DIV></DIV>>than people give it credit for with adjustable koni's and neuspeed
<DIV></DIV>>race springs (or something). much more responsive handling than the
<DIV></DIV>>rocc for some reason also...

<DIV></DIV>>>Oh, I assume it was an A3 or A4 jetta and not an A2 retro? The one
<DIV></DIV>>>A2
<DIV></DIV>>>I've seen with a VR6 was one nasty bastard. He ran down a list of
<DIV></DIV>>>mods
<DIV></DIV>>>that rival mine but it was unfortunately a straight line monster
<DIV></DIV>>>that
<DIV></DIV>>>crept around curves.
