Looks like fun but not really my type of vehicle to be honest. It probably steers like the W12 too  :evil: :evil:

The test car they used was a 4wd synchro and not a rear wheel drive nut mobile like the W12 is :grin: It would still be nose heavy though :sad:

Would probably still beat anything here with 0-100?

Dont like the rally look to be honest, and I think if anyone was going to invest some money in an R36 they would be best waiting til the new one is/isn't confirmed. Im sure it goes like stink!! but i would rather just mod the mkIV R32.. personal pref i thinks! :cool:

Thats an R32 surely an R36 would be a 3.6l VR6

Correct...3.6ltr engine from the new passat :shocked: that's why it has the 296bhp and not 247bhp.

Why wouldn't we? I have no personal grudge against you, and "taking revenge" for something someone said that I did not like,.. no, I don't do that, it's totally kindergarten. I just have my opinions that I express from time to time. For example, I don't really like the shape of new R32, to me it seems like a blob of metal, too bulky. I don't know why I feel like that, maybe it's those ugly alloys. But MkIV R32 looks fabulous! It's just the best looking golf ever. If they were making them still, I'd buy one over GTI without a blink of an eye! So simple and cool, and yet so purposeful that R32.  :drool:
