    If they bring the R to the States I may have to sell my first born.........265 HP and only 2800lbs!

    My next one is going to be 500hp and 3400lbs. That's all I'm saying.

    For about $1600 you can add a downpipe, cat-back, exhaust, and tune to get about 260 HP out of the Scirocco. That would be fun. Of course the R would be pretty nice.

    Not if they stick with the turbos and use it in all their SUV's.

    Not sure you're going to get to 500hp in that car even with a tune. Although it is starting to grow on me, despite the lack of a true M power plant.

    Ah, sorry I was looking at this post on my phone. I thought it did say 3,900 not 3,400. Hmm...

    How about a C6 Z06? (EDIT: Curb weight is like 3,100 lbs so that's not it...)

    Okay how about some hints:

    Used or New?

    Modded or Stock?

    Z06 is one hell of a car for sure. I just couldn't live with that interior.

    Hint:

    Most likely used. Stock. Still 2-3 years away at this point.

    No prize for the correct guess, though.

    No prize needed. It was a fun 10min distraction from capital expenditure analysis.

    Now, back on topic: I like the Scirocco. I want it here in the US. :)

    Every time I hear about this car I go watch this video. Want:cryin:
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2IADVO7br8]YouTube - VW SCIROCCO BY FORMAT67.NET[/ame]

    sidenote: if you pause the video at 1:20 the front end looks different than the picture at the start of this thread. I like the look sans fog lights.
