Yeah, nice car. I guess I'll have to post some pics after mine looks different than it did stock. All my mods have been performance oriented so it looks pretty much the same.

Oh and in response to your sig. FWD does suck. Not because it's slow, or because it doesn't handle well, but because it bores the hell out of me.

Lol, didnt know a challange could bore someone

i have noticed FWD requires more finesse and muscle lol...i love owning both...so sad i have to sell the scirocco

Anyway i dont go around "drifting" so as far as fun factor they are pretty much equal to me but i can see why if you were into "drifting" why RWD would be more fun and less "boring"

Drifting is fun, yes, but I was more or less referring to how cleanly RWD puts down power and how fun it is when it doesn't as opposed to how boring and stupid it is when FWD doesn't put down power clean. Don't get me wrong, chirping tires and smokey one wheel bandits are fun, but it gets boring quicker than feeling the rear end go nuts.

im familiar with that such feeling being that i had a 300hp turbo honda lol...

i have a 112 hp FWD car with LSD, traction is the least of my worries lol...you should come up sometime, i will let you drive the scirocco, it will blow your mind and change your view

Late braking ability that would make most experianced racers weary and need a spare pair of boxers, turn it that will scare the crap out of you, and still able to go WOT just past the apex with full traction...you will realize it aint so bad hehe
