The R32 has the 6 cyl in it which I think is 280 HP and is 4 wheel drive.At least a few yrs ago they where like the 04. We only had 1 new one in 08 that I saw and I hadnt paid attention to whether it was AWD or not. Plus the 08 does not come in stick beacause the DSG(? i think) trans. shifts quicker than a human can. I have test driven the GTI a little hard to see how well it is and its almost instant, I mean like no rpm drop between shifts. This is all just for the sake of attempted accuracy. I still prefer my SS with a trans that can be rebuilt, and not have to buy a new one at the first signs of trauma like the vw's.

yeah ive heard about that trans, not 100% sure if its called a DSG. but i hear its the fastest shifting auto trans. according to google a new r32 will run you 33k. i dont know about anyone else but id rather spend the extra 5k or so get a new camaro, or use the 33k and buy a sweet used vette.

i personally know 4 people who after owning a VW would never buy one again, these new VWs are good for nothing other than of course smelling like crayolas inside (im serious).
however, i personally love the old beetles, those were bulletproof, you could find one at the bottom of a lake, turn the key, and drive off*....all 40hp of it.
*(that was a bit of an exaggeration, dont rip me apart please!)

The same logic can be applied to people who drive Mitsubishis.

and hyundais.
but, since this was about fanboi-ish people and the VW, i didn't send the thread that way on purpose (or avoided it on purpose). approximately the same number of people were killed in pearl harbor that were killed in the world trade center, and you saw how riled up people got, albeit for six months, after the trade centers fell. imagine how people felt when we were actually attacked on our own land by the enemy - that's how people felt 50+ years ago. yet i see the old geezers putting around in their honduhs and hyunduhs as much as anything American. i know their memories can't be that bad, even with widespread Alzheimer's (notice that is, also, german).
expect to drive an Afghani car in 2050...

Well, I've met a lot of fanboys and I just brush them off. Because if they get no reaction from me, then they feel it's not worth their time to explain it.
But to Shownomercy, SweetBMXrider, and Transmaro93. You guys are like the voltron of LT1 fanboys. It's okay when separate. But when the LT1 is brought up, they combine to form the perfect LT1 fanboy....Nah you, guys are cool.

Would they be an autobot or a decepticon? I'm thinking decepticon because Optispark will undoubtedly fail

And thats why by and large the Chinese population refuse to drive anything from across the water. Rape and pillage sure can stick with certain people.
