VW’s are slow and a girls car…JK, I have a few friends that have some VW’s (GTI’s), (VR6 turbos). My friend karl when he owned his civic hatch swaped a b16 type R motor into it…and all he did was put on exhaust and 75 shot and he was untouchable from my friends GTI that had many upgrades. Just like anything else…they are FWD so the more power they get the more you see them on the highway.
