lol - no problem.....

You did say it a lot clearer than my rambling sentence.

 

So it could be lag. The 04 pulls hard from 1k and the 03 doesn't pull until 3k. It's almost as if it was gasping for air...have I been introduced to turbo lag? That's why I didn't suspect the gearing differnece from the start. Perhaps they made some serious improvements in a years time to compensate for lag. Regardless, from what I've read it sounds like chipping is a good solution.

 

what is a vert??? is that short for avant?

 

vert is usually short for convertible. Im not quite sure why it was used in this context.

 

Sorry, for some reason I thought avant meant convertible.

You learn something new everyday.

I see now that it is the wagon, which is why it is heavier.

 

Nah cabriolet is german for convertable.
