I drove one as well. It was pretty quick and had hardly any lag at all. The car was more than happy to rev, and that 6-spd gear box was ten times smoother than our 5-spd is. I thought the SS was a hair faster, but the powerbands between the cars very different feeling because of the way the boost is made. I think APR or another vw tuner made 350whp and 350+trq with an upgraded turbo on it, so be on the look out folks.
MyFast is on the prowl, but my soon to be twinscrew'd bowtie will be serving rabbit for dinner!

Omni, thanks. I though it was creative.

darksun how are you man? havent seen ya in a while
the turbo on the 2.0t is to small..thats why there is no lag...when you turn the boost up in higher rpms the boost falls off
lag is your friend BTW
