Sounds like there's a big flaw in this theory! Who wrote this anyway? =
I
didn't see a signature. Seems odd that my 2.0l 16v Rabbit hit 140mph
without too much trouble, but then again, I use to blow VR6s away all =
the
time. Did you know that the Rabbit is more aerodynamic than the 280Z?
Check it for yourself!
