Haha, well that was the impression I got when I first drove the 1/4 mile.

Guess my engine was just gay.

400 meters.

Since I dont feel like starting a new topic...Does anybody have information on the 1.8T motors? Forged bottom end? I've looked around the internet and cant find ---- on these motors. Neuspeed makes a chip that raises boost levels to 16 pounds, so im assuming this thing is pretty strong. Anybody have input :-\

actually yeah, i'm shifting to 5th right when i cross 1/4 and this is with a 100-102 trap speed, so especially if you have a little higher traps, but in your case, you might only be in third with a 75 mph trap :-* ;)
what tranny are you running? those are some short gears.... i wouls still be in 3rd in my 7

the vr6 doesnt rev high (compared to your typical honda), also, the gears seem very very short, that explains why he flies through the gears.

and what the fucks up with the gauges, some one sed it has 2 motors so i guess that its double everything.

and its not 3 tachs, its 2 tachs and a speedo.

It's the VW from england...I saw another vid of it against a Viper...the vid said it was a twin engined VR6 turbo...2 Vr6 turbo's??
All those gauges are probably adding a lot of weight :-\

no traction? (could explain why the gears go so quick).
