1. APR already has info for the new 1.8T stage 1 tune?
2. i never said they were irrelevant. you really do like to put words into other peoples' mouths eh?
3. do you now?
4. power to weight is performance related, not performance based.
5. no.
6. bringing my mother into this, classy.
7. where did we get numbers of 160/184 for the 1.8T?
1 - We have no reason to believe it will be any different. The car has already debuted in Europe and is currently on VW.UK an VW Deutchland and that motor is already in use in other markets.
2 - You said 'less relevant'. My mistake... However assuming in that statement that because no one asked for the info I provided that it is not (less) relevant to the discussion. I didn't ask for your opinion so that must mean it is irrelevant. I do agree with that much though your logic otherwise IS flawed.
3 - I do know a lot about this car. I currently own a MKVI GTI, had a MKV GTI, and my wife is on her second CC. I know plenty about VAG. As I have clearly illustrated numerous times on this board.
4 - Thanks, I know what power-to-weight ratio is. I could have just as easily compared the performance figures of the MKVI to the predicted figures of the MKVII Golf 1.8TSI based on said power-to-weight ratio. My point was to illustrate just how close they were. Regardless of what the actual numbers are. But if you need them...
5 - They were your words... If you would like to take everything you said back, that would be great. Might help you save face, if at all possible at this point.
6 - Just trying to understand what your deal is. Maybe I can better 'tailor' my responses (read dumb down) to help you better understand them.
7 - That is the motor that has been confirmed to replace the 2.5 in the Passat and Jetta next year with the Beetle to follow. 160hp/184lb-ft. 1.8TSI. It has been in use in Europe for a few years now. Thanks for proving #3...

If you were a bit less aggressive and confrontational you might learn something here.
