remeber, not all cars only have 4 cylinders. why dont you go over to ls1tech.com and see how many 10 - 11 second dd's there are. then if you really feel lucky, go over to performancetrucks.net and see how many people use thier 6000+lb trucks daily who are in the 10 - 13 second range. then if you really really feel lucky go over to hybridz.org and have your mind blown!!! sure not all 10 second cars are dds but alot are.
you may want to rethink that "ever" comment.

lol...
the only mod thats really worth it for a 2.8 is the neuspeed chip. It gives you 10-15 WHP, and 10lbs of trq at the wheels. Its dyno proven on more than enough cars to call it a legit mod. Its $299 so whether or not you think its worth it is up to you.
And the truth is that the majority of 1.8's on the road and even on this site wont ever beat a 2.8. A chipped 1.8 wont "walk all over" a 2.8 like most people believe. A chipped 1.8 runs a 15.7-16.0-ish in the 1/4 mile... stock 30v 2.8's put down sub 15.5 numbers all day long.
people forget the 30v 2.8 comes with 210lbs of torque.
The main thing that KILLS these cars off the line is the DAM CLUTCH! theyre horrible, they dont grip for SHlT but at the same time it probably allows the clutch to be a lot more reliable.
I have so much to say on this subject I could type for an hour.

a chipped 1.8T won't walk all over a 2.8 but it definitely will win. a chipped 1.8T has more power and is slightly lighter.
oh and the 30v has 207 ft. lbs @ 3200 RPM, while a chipped 1.8T makes ~225 ft lbs of tq @2000 RPM. again you lose

yes but the diffrence is, with the 30v engine, the sludge is cause by stupid owners, where with the 1.8t, its by design (although stupid owners dont make the problem any better). i cant remeber who it was, but one of the audi tech guys posted a thread about why the 1.8t engine have these problems and it pretty much came down to the design of the engine (the oil pick up screen??).

RE: what cars will a stock 2.8 beat off the line
I drive 30v 2.8's all day long at work (Passats and A4's), and they are pretty much dogs down low. You really have to run out the rpm's to get going unlike in a chipped 1.8.But they are great engines and dont necessarily under perform for what they are. One day, I will stop responding to these kind of threads.... But damn... Its like crack!!!!!
