As everyone's told ya, the real curb weight of the 16V is 2380.  So add 
your weight to that number and that's about what your car should weigh.

The car magazines said about 8 seconds, so you're dead on.  I've never seen 
anyone get a faster 0-60 launch than about what you did with a stock 1.8 
16V...  What rpm did you drop the clutch by the way?


>1/4 mile: 16.66sec @ 88.6mph (only did one run)

Dead on.  The magazines said about 16.0 @ 88mph.

Check out my site (www.scirocco16v.org) under the "PRESS" section.  I have 
the original road tests there.
