Oh, VW Driver says 8.2/8.3 for the 0-60 (1.8/2.0) DtM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
driver 0 Posted September 25, 2003 according to guy on cgti forum- 2.0 9a with kr cams: about 160hp, i'd rather have the 2.0. didnt know insurance groups were quite that high tho- could get an ibiza turbo!!! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
