Without going into detail about how turbocharged engines work, he could go even further than that depending on what sort of drivability compromises he was willing to make and the depth of his pockets. 330hp is nothin'
He will beat you with 200whpUCONNB5 said:that's nuts!! damn... it sucks to be wrong lol
on the good side, with all the high dollar prices you guys are talking about, i don't think i should be worried that he's going to have a chance to catch up to my 1.8T anytime soon..... vrooooooom
It's expensive to get 500whp. It's not very expensive to get 300whp.UCONNB5 said:on the good side, with all the high dollar prices you guys are talking about, i don't think i should be worried that he's going to have a chance to catch up to my 1.8T anytime soon..... vrooooooom
Yeah I hear NHRA racers say that everyone can make mad horsepower, but if they all run the same tires (as they're made to do in some classes) then everyone's on a level playing ground.A-Tiller-the hun said:but putting that power down is the real problem... :crazy:
um yeah. takes half themoney to be as fast as our B5's... and teh car was half teh price too. I think he wins in all accountsUCONNB5 said:that's nuts!! damn... it sucks to be wrong lol

Oh, ok :beer:who ever wants to.
I know, I know. I just don't like the whole idea of just trying to get huge HP. DO you remeber that article here that someone scanned? The car has, what, 450 WHP, but FWD and no limited slip. Good luck trying to get that thing going.Macabre said:If you're going to make fun of something, you should think about having some clue what you're talking about first
You think a 1.8L turbocharged VW engine is going to have torque characterstics much different from a 1.6L-2.2L turbocharged Honda engine? In reality, you can build a Honda that will have more horsepower and more torque than your W8 for the same money as a few of your payments, and be 2000lbs lighter. So if cheap acceleration is why you bought your Passat, you made a mistake. So nyah!
