Title: Mk 4 2.0 GTI
Post by: dai-cymru on 05 August 2008, 01:31
right not ad me golf long and just got in from late shift on the way home i gave the golf a bit of heavy right foot action (obviously on the race track nearby my home officer :tongue: ) and got to say not sure where these comments of 2.slug come from if you rev it above 4k rpm it really comes alive and i was impressed, i know it wont keep up with the turbos or maybe the turbo smokers but not as bad as people make out. :laugh:
