Nice! Similar torque figures or would those be higher?
I've spooked myself a couple times in the VW after having it tuned, I spend 98% of my commuting time hypermiling in moderate-to-heavy traffic on 35mph roads, so when the rare opportunity presents itself, 270-280ft-lbs feels like a lot.
(Shut up DJ, my yardstick is an OBD-I M3 with long tubes that probably makes 200ft-lbs on a good day)
Considering that my FWD+all-seasons render 1st and 2nd gear mostly useless, I can only imagine how awesome similar power figures feel in a car that can actually put it down from a stop.
