I have to remark to this last Reply!!!! (oh what fun!) 
In the context of the racing world, I would definately say the 6 speed is a 
requirement! If im road racing, I would definately have the 6 spd AND a 
Quaife. But the origional post was not about road racing, was it? No, it 
was basically an inquiry asking about  6 spd info on a street application. 
(You dont road race your Jetta or Scirocco, do you Ed??) Which, I gave my 
opinion on. In that aspect, I still think its a trendy item. (a novilty, a 
gimmic, a scheme and yes, still a ploy. )
Id say also that if you already have a close ratio gearbox, and youve got a 
seriously built Scirocco (Mike Potters 80 "S" comes to mind) then I can see 
where a 6 spd would be handy. But since very few of us have the kind of 
equipment like Mike has in his Scirocco, then the 6 spd would fall under the 
aforementioned category.  

Ya-ya, Vince at VL. Just over the hill from TT in Oregon or something right? 
Cool, id like to hear what he has to say about the application benefits and 
disadvantages.
