Yea, but they're getting the lighter and more race apt version.. I think.. Oh yea, I saw motor week on speedvision tonight and they mentioned something about the VW golf gi (or something like that) coming to america with 180hp (if I remember correctly..) I think it was turbocharged too.. Only got a quick glimpse about it.

 

Is it still a 1.8t? Don't know too much about those earopean car. )Saw a lotus espirit last night. Made me wish I had my FD!) If it is turbocharged from the factory I saw the VW turbos at the car show. Cutest little things I have ever seen. About the size of a jelly bean but hey.....better then what I have

 

I'm not sure really.. like I said, it was on there for like a instant. So, I don't have any in depth stuff, sorry. Yea, the beetles are ok. The turboed one's should be a little cooler. What are you driving right now?

 

4cyl 4runner. Mom bought it or me cause they told her it wold get good gas mileage. She got ripped off. Its for sale if anyone wants it. Looking at an FD that I might get in a few weeks.

 

Made me dig through my old mag. collection....



R32:

VW's muscle Golf

...a golf with a 3.2 liter version of the VR6...feeding a six speed transmission and the 4motion all-wheel drive system. With 241 hp on tap and a chuncky236 lb-ft of peak torque at just 2800 rpm, think of it as a normally aspirated, German WRX. But so far, it's a Europe-only deal...VW claims the R32 rips from 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) in 6.4 seconds and has a top speed of more than 140 mph...



Um, it doesn't have a turbo, unless you are talking about the car in the vid, but in that case the car in the vid doesn't have a VR6.

 

I saw it @ the Detroit Auto Show. I didn't realize it was AWD till later.

 

Hehe....who would have thought. A fast golf. I like the style I just hate the people that drive them where I live. They think it is the fastest car in the world! As for the specs....I would definately like to own one. I am sure they would be cheap to fix up!

 

Sorry not interested in the 4runner, but got any pics of the FD prospect?

 

It is in Dallas. My cousin said he was gonna go look at it for me this weekend since he is up their looking for an apartment. He drove mine for a week so he know a little about them. Not worried too much since I am buying it froma dealer and a warranty is being included. Brand new paint job. And 4k less then my last one! Its on autotrader also. Thats where I bought my last one. Maybe it is good karma....not sure. But I can't wait.

 

hmmm hey joe,what dealer is that,it looks like a dealer ive seen before called La-Motorcars...
