It's pretty hilarious how a lot of the guys there think their awesome VW Jetta engine is superior to our "anemic" F20 with its "damn Civic 4-banger buzz." When somebody mentions just putting a Lovefab turbo kit on the S instead, another guy even says "it would still have no torque."

I usually try not to get involved with this kind of "brand x vs. brand y" nonsense, but when some guy wants to swap his econo-box engine into a true sports car just because it's made by VW (and therefore must be superior), that pisses me off a little.

hahaha nice find. Yeah, my "torqueless wonder" sure would get beat up by a VW

I don't think Audi mentality and VW mentality are the same thing.

Not as much cross shopping between Audis and Hondas (except for the A3 which is a total POS to drive aggressively, IMHO).

My best friend was one of these VW/Audi nut huggers too. He drives a 1.8T GTi.

Well one day I gave him a ride in my 400whp Civic and he hasn't talked shit since.

friend had a supposed bored out vr6 blah blah... he was going to pay 3k to paint the engine compartment so that no wires showed, he also had repainted the car, with lots of sparkles in the paint. He would say jokes about my car etc.. How it had no torque, i offered to see who was faster with a friendly race, but he also came up with an excuse... Then i went turbo and he just shut up!

I don
