Anyways, Welcome!

It’s funny. When I hear people talk about their cars and it’s like 3XX or so, it’s just not impressive. It’s funny when they talk it up. It’s just soo easy these days with just about every platform having affordable mod paths to make big power.

yah…its bad.

I thought my 4xx rwhp was fast for a few days when I first picked it up. Now Im use to it and it feels like stock again…I want more. It will never end.

Lolz shawn.

Builds 5-7psi off the line without pause, which doesn’t help it any as it blows the tires free 1st -3rd easy. \<---- Not that that is a good thing, but it sure is damn fun on occasion 🙂 Was spinning third going up the big hill on my road at ~70ish. Has a shit ton of low end grunt for a 2 litre turbo but it’s that 2.0FSI and it’s high compression ratio right there.

I actually liked it FWIW. I’m not a FWD fan but for a snotty little daily driver I sure could get use to it, for the (fun)handling mishaps I would inevitably wind up in on the back twisties driving the balls off it. 300+WHP in a FWD car is enough to get wrapped up in shit pretty quick.

I think it’s the sound of it that wins me over really.

Yeah…that big muffler under the rear bumper isn’t really a muffler at all. just a big goddamn empty tincan. His car is essentially an open exhaust right now. Full 3", catless, and no resonator right up to that OEM rear “muffler”.
