[Fwd: 200 hp golf.]

[josh clark <joshc@garden.net>]

Hey all
I just thought you might want to see this.  This Golf produces about
140ft/lbs of torque at 2500 rpm!  BUT it only makes 157-160 ft/lbs above
4500rpm so the hp goes up w/o the torque but this must be an amazing car
and he says the idle stays fine with 276 deg cams!  I want a car like
this!
