1.8T huh? I have mixed emotions about the new(er) VW's. I haven't really forgiven Volkswagon for discontinuing the Sciroccos and the (heavy slower) Corrados. I have rebuilt a couple of Sciroccos from the ground up-- now that I am going to Italy I am going to be looking for some Euro parts and maybe a Euro spec engine. If I can pick up one of those new Euro 24 valve V-6 (200 sum-sumthin' horses of v-dubya love) they have for the jetta there I am gonna jump on it. The wife put the stops on me taking my favorite Scirocco there as I can only ship one car and SHE HATES THE RICCARO SEATS. (women are evil I tell ya) She wants the Cabriolet there so I made a deal with her--Cabrio can go but I am slapping a 16v in it once we get there. If she is gonna make me drive a chic car --I am gonna soup it up a little.

HAHA
