RE: Jettas are slow...

["Eric Ansay" <eansay@ezwebtech.com>]

This I will admit (if there was a VR6 with the same mods)...I also have a
sealed ram-air system and have raised the compression.  My car will redline
at 7,200 rpm in 5th (.80 gear) with out a prob...just waiting to blow this
tranny so I can get a 6-speed with .70 6th gear.  There's a picture on
www.venommotorsports.com  click on members, and then click on Eric Ansay.  I
am trying to keep the "stock" look to keep it a sleeper.  The car flipped
169,500 miles tonight -- original engine, 2nd tranny -- gone through two
stock clutches and two sport clutches, waiting to put in a 1.8t in.  A
friend who has a modded VR6 said that he would have never known that it was
a 4-cyl -- except for the way it shifted -- he also said that it had more
power and he like how you could easily spin both wheels in 2nd.  I'm
starting to work on a 98 Cabrio to make it more of a "guys car"
