Amazing Passat W8 vs Corvette ZO6 Video

Have you seen the list of the top 18 Fastest Cars on the needforspeed
website all of the were European?
There are plenty of VAG cars like the Audi TT Bimoto on there and not
even one American car was fast enough to make the top 18. Here are
just a few of the Volkswagen Auto Group cars on there that were 200 MPH
+
Why would VAG cars go to some race where gocarts like Corvettes are
racing when they can race with the big boys instead? Jeremy Clarkson
from Top Gear has driven thousands of the best and fastest cars in the
world and he knows that American Cars SUCK, his opinion is very
educated as he's actually driven thousands of cars and their limits
and compared them all.

Isn't that the bloke that drove a Jaguar at Nurenburg and was proud of
his 10 minute lap time. Some chick said she could be that time driving
a diesel delivery van. She almost beat him. While I find the guy
entertaining he almost lost to a girl driving a delivery van for God's
sake.

I just read a Corvette review by Jeremy Clarkson while not as glowing
as the reviews he gives on Ferrari, still it was not a horrid review
as you suggest.

Whatever happened to your post about the cars you own now and in the
past and your track experience beyond Hot Wheels?

"In my mind"? How 'bout trying "in reality" for a while. The Passat is
made by VWAG, in Emden and Zwickau, in plants where (AFAIK) no Audis are
made.

Since when does a Passat W8 cost $97K? Do you live in one of those
European countries with outlandish taxes on cars? Back when the W8 was
on sale in the US, it cost about $38K.

Math isn't your strong suit, is it? The B5 Passat's 2.8L V6 made 190
HP. That's about 68 HP/L. Multiply that by the W8's 4.0L and you
get... 271 HP, which is pretty damn close to VW's rating of 270 HP. So
where the hell do you get 400 HP? (Apart from your delusional fanboy
fantasies, I mean.)

That's true *today*. During the time when the Passat W8 was for sale,
it was most certainly not.

20 city, 29 highway - better than even a V6 B5 Passat, never mind a W8.
Why don't you check your ****ing facts before your embarrass yourself
even further?

Who the **** cares? Design parameters don't count; measured results are
what counts.

"It's a VW?" Gee, Sal, that leaves quite a bit of latitude. You could
drive a rusted-out '74 Bug for all we know.

That's not exactly fair. Mustang pilots were able to shoot down Me-262s
primarily by catching them during takeoff and landing.
