I was out test driving cars again the other day and I ran into a 1.8 turbo Gti. I like this car a lot. Very simple but nice styling. And it was pretty fast too. Come with 180hp. I figure 300hp wouldn't be to hard to get. I was just wondering what people have heard about this car. And does anyone know if the 2.8vr6 is a better option? I'm liking the lightweight 1.8 turbo. Just curious.

i know its small for quick spooling, imo it sucks that you cant get much more power over stock.
my car is making a little more than 100hp over stock, and i am still on the stock turbo with CA 91 oct crap gas as for turbo AWD, look into the 1.8t A4 quattro. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
