Re: Hill climbing Scirocco

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

I don't think that a Coupe GT and a regular Coupe signify whether it has a 5 
or 4 cylinder. GT's came with a spoiler and some other shit. I used to own 
an '82 Coupe and it had a 5 cylinder and everyCoupe I have ever seen has had 
the 5 cylinder. Coupes are based on the 4k platform and if you get a 4k you 
had the optoin of 4 or 5 cylinder. Not, however in the Coupe.

I didn't think the Coupe was very fast off the line. 50 MPH and up though is 
an entirely different story. That thing hauled ASS at higher speeds.

My two cents
