I used to have a 1.8 litre VW golf petrol turbo. The power to weight ratio of that car was formidable.
Heavy clutch (required).
Sport suspension.
Bucket seats.
All factory.
V6 and V8 cars would be left behind at the lights. Their shame was palpable as my 'girl car' left them in the dust. She was a sleeper.
Roundabouts were my slingshots.
Best driving days of my life.
I truly miss that car. She was amazing.
I have a 4WD now. I may as well be in a wheelchair, pushing through syrup.
Mine is a stock v6 from 2012. It makes 300hp and recently got gapped by a kia soul. The handling is great but man its sooo slow.
Only by American standards man, your V6 S197 is way faster than like 90% of cars in rest of the world lol.
Thanks man, I'll keep flexing on Taiwanese cars in the meantime
