Damn that's some wicked topend.
Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just a gay piece of **** VW. 
When VWs start running mid 8s with a 3700-lb car at the track, then you can be proud. But until then, they're still just the poor man's BMW. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm happy with my tiny engine, right now I'm at 423 miles on my current tank.
