Video VW R32 vs AUDI S3 :beer:
:laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s90Y2iiqBQs
A range of four-cylinder engines will power the Golf, rated from 80 hp to 211 hp. There are no immediate plans for a follow-up to the 250 hp, 3.2-liter V6-powered R32. Instead, Volkswagen is toying with the idea of a 265-hp version of the GTi’s engine--the same engine found in the speedy Audi S3--for a new four-wheel-drive R version of the Golf.
I hope VW makes the GTI aggressive. The front and the rear of the new golf VI has the same lines of the scirocco. what do you guys think?
GTI-R
VW - if you are listening, make the GTI-R.....This way, VW could compete with the rest of the class performance wise and dominate the class in terms of interior design and sophistication.
2009 Subaru Impreza WRX: 265 hp, retuned suspension, STI tweaks.
Mazda speed 3 265 hp HELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO :banghead: :banghead:
It's official folks. Those of you that picked up a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX have been had. The road-going rally rocket gets an update for 2009 and with it comes a retuned 2.5-liter boxer four-pot producing 265 hp and 244 lb.-ft. of torque – a 41 hp and 18 lb.-ft. increase over the outgoing model. Power will be sent to all four wheels through a five-speed manual – the only transmission available -- with low-profile 225/45R17 summer tires replacing the 205/50R17 rubber of the 2008 model.
The suspension has been revised to include stiffer springs, uprated dampers, upper strut mounts cribbed from the STI and larger anti-roll bars fore and aft. The Aero package is no longer an option – it's standard – and includes an STI-inspired grille on both the sedan and hatch, while the five-door receives the STI's rear spoiler and underbody diffuser.
Base Price: 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX - Estimated $26,000
