Amazing Passat W8 vs Corvette ZO6 Video

Hell, I'd pick a Skoda Superb over a Chevy Malibu or Ford Fusion any day of the week give the chance. VW sell Skoda Superbs in the US because it would harm Passat Sales. VW also doesn't make Passat Convertibles because it would hurt A4 Convertible Sales, although the EOS does the same to a smaller degree. If they sold Skoda Superbs in the US, they'd sell like hotcakes. Even these last generation Skoda Superbs are beautiful family cars to me. http://images.google.com/images?q=Sk...mages&ct=title |

Still just another volkswagon. You are obviously laboring under a severe
information deficit, go look up Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette, and find out why you are held in such disdain.

The Volkswagen GTI W12 Twin Turbo is a legit MID-ENGINE SUPERCAR.
The W12 Engine was actually originally designed for the VW 12 Nardo Supercar Concept that was made to destroy Enzos on the track. http://www.in.gr/auto/parousiaseis/f..._676_03_01.jpg http://www.autogen.pl/cars/VolksW12N/2.jpg http://vodila.net/sketch_images/235.jpg Front Engine Cars like the Corvettes are mere PRETENDERS, real Super- Cars have MID-ENGINE SETUP. Why settle for a lowly front engine car when you can get a Mid-Engine Supercar for less money? Here are some images that what kind of beast the W12 in the GTI really is. http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content...fficial_12.jpg http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content...ficial_111.jpg Why would anyone settle for a Front Engine car with understeer like the Corvette SS whent they can get a Mid-Engine Exotic like the Volkswagen GTI W12 Twin Turbo with Supercar manners on the track?

Yep, definitely gay! You really are just another loser wannabe. Go back
to school and learn something about the real engineering behind good cars. Sal wrote: > VAG makes cars for all different demographics.

So if you want to be technical you are talking about an Audi that you think is so great, not a VW. Your one off discussions are silly also. There are plenty of Corvette one off with turbos. We had a 72 Polara in the family. It was spec'ed out by CHP to go a minimum of 140 mph. I was not so interested in driving that 5,000 pound car 140. It got up to 120 pretty fast though. OK, not as fast as a lot of the factory race cars you can buy but it was 5,000 pounds.Something that has the potential to go fast does not mean that you want to drive it fast on anything but a straight road. I am not ignorant enough to suggest that one car is superiour to another. That is oft times as silly as saying my methane smells better than you methane. Fun troll, sort of. |

Obviously you don't have a clue about design. The engine being set
BETWEEN the front and rear wheels defines mid-engine. There are forward mounted and rear mounted mid-engines. Now go away as you are the "pretender". You may continue your education on your own. Good-day.

It's just crazy to even start compare NON-PRODUCTION cars to
production cars. What was the Callaway Sledgehammer's Production run? 5000? 1000?, 50? Actually in its own category, the Sledgehammer Corvette is very slow, even electric cars in the NON-Production category are faster http://www.autobloggreen.com/2006/10...-electric-car/ Even Street Legal Cars are much faster. http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/..._Car_-_2200BHP Since you're bringing up cars that aren't even production, I'll do one better. My souped up Volkswagen Nardo W12 does 306 MPH in Grand Turismo 4, take that Sledgehammer Corvette. On Jul 12, 9:15 pm, Bob I > wrote: > Still just another volkswagon.
