Amazing Passat W8 vs Corvette ZO6 Video

130 MPH on the track, hit the governor.
Decided to get a laptop instead of chiptuning because education is
more important and besides because of education I can get a much
faster car later.
I never drive over 80 MPH on the highway anymore because my lady
friend's father was killed by a guy who was speeding way over the
limit. It's reasonably safe to drive 150-250 MPH in Germany, NOT on
American Highways.

All this bombastic bluster and I have to ask Sal, what car(s) do you
own and drive? And I mean real cars, not VR cars on some dorky video
game.

That may be true Sal but a Passat is outclassed by a Corvette every
time.

So you claim. Got a cite with the mileage stats?

Getting defensive, Sal?

The European version of the Passat TDI is listed at 44 MPG highway and
that's way better than the Camry and Accord Gasoline Electric Hybrids,
and lightyears beyond primitive American cars like the Fusion and
Malibu.
The Germans are just technologically way more advanced than the
Americans.
They made the first jet aircraft, they made the first ballistic
missile, and they made the Mclaren F1's engine back WELL WELL over a
decade ago and yet it's superior to any production American engine
even to this day.

Oh, really, what's the fuel economy of a Corvette? What's the
Corvette's Drag Coefficient? What's the reliability record of a
Corvette compared to a Passat according to consumer reports? What kind
of crash test results does it have?
Did the Corvette have the 3rd lowest death rate among 200 popular cars
compared by the IIHS like the Passat did?
What kind of top speed to horsepower ratio do Corvettes have compared
to Passats?
What kind of ego emmisions do Corvettes put out?

Ok I personally have driven my vette 165MPH and have truly felt that speed,
and have driven a passat up to around 90 (LA freeways everybody does 90 when
clear or 25 when full of traffic) and did not feel near the control in the
passat at that low of a speed as I did in my 98 vette at that great of
speed.
Now your statement "It's reasonably safe to drive 150-250 MPH in Germany"
is just plain stupid unless you have a full roll cage and a full harness
seat belt and helmet you are far from safe.
And the Autobahn is not very safe for driving fast either as there are a lot
of slow moving vehicles like tractor trailers on it as well, I'm sorry I
would not want to be coming up on a truck going 60MPH and me doing 150MPH
that would suck if he had to swerve.

Autobahn speed limit facts.
Speed limits
Despite the widespread belief of complete freedom from speed limits (and a
lobbying effort that has the same influence and deep pockets as the American
gun lobby), some speed regulations can be found on the Autobahns. Many
sections do indeed have posted limits ranging from 80 to 120 km/h (50-75
mph), particularly those with dangerous curves, in urban areas, near major
interchanges, or with unusually constant heavy traffic. In construction
zones, the limit may be as low as 60 km/h (37 mph). Also, some sections now
feature nighttime and wet-weather speed restrictions, and trucks are always
regulated . Still, about half the Autobahn system has no speed limit, but
there is always an advisory limit of 130 km/h (81 mph). This recommendation
is generally seen for what it is-- an attempt by the government to cover
itself without having to upset millions of Porsche and BMW owners (AKA
voters.) However, if you exceed the advisory limit and are involved in an
accident, you could be responsible for some of the damage costs even if you
are not at fault.

I guess I would just like to end this saying 2 things
1st quit dissing the Vette if you don't like the car leave the group and
move onto another one, we like them.
2nd Unless you have experience in driving the actual cars (not on a ****ing
game) then quit trying to argue with everybody, Hell I can read a book on
knee surgery and quote it to everybody and even do it on the computer
http://www.edheads.org click virtual knee surgery its kinda cool, BUT it
does not mean I know diddly **** about it.
So go play somewhere else you have wore out your welcome here as far as I am
concerned.

No where in the cite given does it list the Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI
170 DPF SEL (Diesel) at 44 mpg. What it does say is " The Passat is
not a particularly entertaining car to drive, but it's capable ..."

Not particularly entertaining to drive......capable.......

Stick to your GT4 racing, poser.
