only race if you know you have a good challenge on your hans or you can hand down own the other car. knowing your gonna loose and racing is a waste of gas

hahahah smashhhed... but man 12v's arent slow... maybe something was wrong with ur 12v but mine is pretty damn swift... for a 6 banger that is... i used to have a 4.2 straight 6 chevy truck and that **** was slow and it had 270HP... my 12v is faster than it... probably because of the weight difference but yea...

It should be faster than a 6-cylinder truck but most other cars will beat it. It's the nature of having a 90s sedan. What passed for good power then is far below the norm now.

you're right... but hey like that one guy said its not all about speed... lol i sound like a hypocrite right now haha... but yea its not all about speed for me either but even today i feel like my car is better than the new 2012 toyota camrys and ****... they got cloth seats (eww) and they think its like the **** to have power windows and a 2 CD changer it pisses me off cuz people think features in the new cars are freakin awesome when really theyve been around for years now... but yea... even if my car is slow i still love it... i feel so safe in a german car... my first car was a volvo 850 GLT (lol i know) and that thing was solid... then i got a nissan and chevy and stuff and now im back with german quality cars... at the shop where i work customers always come in and they would see a volkswagen here getting a tune up and they're like... man i hate german cars... they got so much problems... this one is probably electrical right? and im like nahh its just maintenance... people these days man... -_____-

every one has a bad opinion of vws, audis benzes and beemers cause after the maintenance plan is up no one keeps up on the maintenance. they break pretty fast and pretty badly when they arent taken care of. but if all the maintanence is done they will go forever. just revived my bros 84 vanagon after it sat for 7 years.

As much as I like Audis, I don't think S models can hold a candle to BMW's M models, in general.
