sick

Sweet VDub, good numbers too!

how many years ago did i tow that???

congrats

Very nice numbers…not to many fast V-Dubs around the 'burg.

congrats on getting it up and running again

sweeet

HAHA…I might need another one once I go to the track :eek: PM me your number just in case

It’s not fast yet, it’s just powerful for now…we’ll see soon enough how ‘fast’ it is…need new slicks

:cool:

Oh, yeah 423whp @ the dyno yesterday, still got one more trick up my sleeve (not nitrous or water/meth) and after that she’ll be done for this year power wise!

Thanks to hybrid :thumbup:

Killer! nice to see fast VAG cars around here. They’re a dime a dozen out west, so when they show up in this area, it’s way cool.

Temps were 90 degrees, humidity was right there, I literally was soaking wet when I left, but I was also helping Dennis strap down other cars there, these are the raw files, we had trouble picking up TQ on some of the runs, the clutch deff. didn’t like me that day and today decided to stop working completely…
