Re: 8&16v graph question

["Craig Williams" <craigpwilliams@hotmail.com>]

Your answer is that you've got a weight advantage over a MKII. I have a 16V
1.8 in my MKI and a friend has an 8V 1.8 in his MKI. I beat him everytime,
everywhere no matter what (in a straight line foot to the floor test which
is what we're talking about.)

1981 SciroccoS 1.8 16V (soon to be 2.0+)
1987 Jetta GLI 16V (Daily Driver)
1991 Passat Wagon 2.0 16V (For the Wife)
