I have the same reservations Adam, but I think we're going to have to get used to the idea one of these days. We already have no "physical" connection to the throttle, and Mercedes has working prototypes with steer and brake by wire. Soon, it's all going to be a 3d video game. Of course we can all revolt, and keep repairing our A2's for the next 50 years. =) Steve Hauptmann South Carolina -----Original Message----- From: Adam Frank [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 12:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] New 2.0T 16V >>>"The new GTI gets Volkswagen's first application of the all-new direct injection gasoline (FSI for Fuel Stratisfied Injection in VW speak) 16v 2.0l 4-cylinder turbo with 200hp and 207 ft-lbs. of torque available from a low 1,800 RPM." damn.......... i hope someone totals one of these soon so i can get the engine.
