Holy crap- 6k RPM's in 3rd gear isn't even 60? wow. With better tires and a really hard launch you'd probably see the other side of 8.0, but not much more. I'd say get rid of the passenger, with how light an A2 is, 175lbs can make a difference! My seat-of-the-pants dyno can tell the difference. I'd go out and do a run now, but my clutch is fried... sorry. -- John Caldwell [email protected] _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
