Default HP difference 1.8T vs 3.0

Hi
Is there a real difference in how it feels? And how does the quattro hurt the performance?

Thanks

hey ur that one vette guy. yes there is. i guess in chevy terms it's like a vette vs. s/c cobalt. and quattro hurts the amount of hp put to the wheels but increases the amount of traction. ur definition of performance is how fast a car can go in a straight line. but to some people performance is the overall way a car drives.

well put.

theres a big power diffrence between the 1.8 and the 3.0. The 1.8 is favored on the forum because it can be moded easier and made faster, with the 3.0 your stuck with more basic mods.

a chipped 1.8 will be able to beat a 3.0, if your looking for what car is quicker, the 1.8 has unlimited possibilities while the 3.0 you can basically only get a sc.

for a stock car, the 3.0 is faster.

Just being chipped, a 1.8 will not beat a 3.0 A stock 3.0 puts out 220hp stock, and some pretty good torque. More mods will be needed forthe 1.8

depends on what we are talking about. A B6 1.8 and a 3.0 are pretty close in weight. Not enough for just a chip to beat. A chipped B5 would still not beat a stock 3.0 only with a chip.

the weight on a 3.0 isnt too much more. The race between a stock 3.0 and a 1.8 chipped would be very close.
