I willing to bet that this car as equipped can do 5.9 in 0-60 MPH.

so whats the verdict, dad?

pics of said daughter

Nemesis8 09-05-2007 11:21 AM

You guys are killing me. Look, she is my offspring, so that means she is drop dead gorgeous...

:p:

I cannot wait to drive the 337, and will let you guys know my thoughts on how it stacks up to the RX8.

i'll be the judge of that.


j/p

but seriously i've always liked the way VW's drove for a daily driver car. I'm sure you/she will love it.

Nemesis8 09-05-2007 11:50 AM

This is a better deal than I imagined. The insurance company paid me $4K for the totaled Jetta, and I have guys wanting about $3K for it's tranny, rims, tires, and stereo. That means I'm only out $3k out of pocket. Sweet deal.

My previous dub rides:
'77 Scirocco (Sold)
'83 Golf GTI Mark I (Sold)
'95 Jetta GLS (Totaled By A Road Rage Driver! RIP)
'99 Passat GLS V6 (The Wife's Daily Driver - 120K on it)

She must take after her mother, then. :)


Pretty sweet ride. Def needs a driving course or at least a stern discussion of patience & stopping distances. (tho I'm sure that discussion has already transpired)

Nemesis8 09-05-2007 12:51 PM

LOL - she has been driving a manual since she was 15, and now at age 20 she can out drive her buddies. But, you are correct about the lesson learned concerning safe driving distances.

I'm taking her to a driving school also.

Nemesis8 09-06-2007 10:26 AM

The ECU has been APR tuned to 215hp/247lb-ft. Maybe I should give her the RX8 and keep the 337....

dmc27 09-06-2007 10:41 AM

f8ckin troll!





:lol2:

Nemesis8 09-06-2007 10:55 AM

ROTFLMAO

I can't wait to drive this thing. It's going to make me wanna save up again for the supercharger from RP.

dmc27 09-06-2007 10:59 AM

I can't even imagine how much trouble I'd get in if the 8 had another 50 HP, nevermind supercharging it. But then, once I can afford said trouble I will be adding the extra power. mmmmm . . . 300 hp rx8 . . .



that VW is really nice looking and sounds like it will be a blast to drive tho.

There's no daughter in those pics...

And here I thought you were cool...

Nemesis8 09-08-2007 03:12 PM

OK, here is my daughter. She is my pride and joy, so be nice.

"Removed now that everyone who was interested has seen her - nobody stepped with a million bucks to marry her though..." :rolleyes:

BigRed 09-08-2007 03:15 PM
