Well, they don't have too much more power than I,
The new 3.4s are up to 310-320 hp, right?
(we had been thinking we had 300 stock hp, + chip and exhaust = 330-ish?)

All I know is it is plenty of engine for quite a while.
I have a lot of learning to do..

I have had one of almost every FWD VW,
but this really inspired both shock and awe,
when I put a whole tank of gas through it last week...

The cool thing is the car came with a driving instructor:
I found out after 2 days that with the suspension done,
and 18X8 / 10s, the only reason you should ever see the
TCS light is if you are not being smooth...
Once I started letting the light direct my cornering technique,
things got really cool. (and way fast)

but I digress...
I'm sure you guys will be hearing more from me once I actually buy this thing....

Brad,

Good luck with your purchase. Post back with some pics and the "story" when you get it.
