Yeah, compare the GTI to a Civiv Si or better yet a Ford Festiva. We will all say Hondas suck and it'll be overwith.
BTW... a friends of mine has a (something like) 600HP Supercharged V8 Camaro (and he might have nitrous on it as well). He has never given me a ride in it since he never drives it, but I would definitely say that it could crush all of our VW's. And with that much straight-away power why would you need to handle the twisties. Just slow down and when its straight again floor it. -Scott '92 GTI 16V ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 3:48 AM Subject: Re: trying to finish this thread ... > <<The A2 16v does not stand a chance to those cars when both are driven by > good pilots!
