    the vr6 just has way more potential then 1.8t if you have the $$$... i know alot of people have been all about boost but look what you can do NA \/

    hot damn !!!!!! those are some serious number i give u props
    i dont think the accord can hang with that. 11.5 sec 1/4 mile wow very impressive. are those shrick cams? well very nice it's cool to learn some diffrent things i didnt know VW's had so much potential

    thats not my dub but just what you can do w/ NA vr6... vr6/1.8t are very capable of 13 sec 1/4 w/ very little mods. if the guy talking shit was in a 1.8t i would say he would wax you; but since its a vr6 and your setup w/ the numbers you posted, it will come down to driver + traction.

    Yea that's what turns a lot of people away from VW's. I mean, if the parts were cheap to fix the electrical problems, it wouldn't really be big problems. But parts are exxxxxpensive!!!
