**Feels Fast** and **Is Fast** are two totally different things. A few friends of mine were really big into the VW and import thing, those little boogers do feel like rockets, but that might be due to their small size, my land yatch (in size comparison, lol) felt lazy while riding around in it, but line the cars up, those little VW's were no match, period, oh and my car, was running a rear 2.41 gear to give an idea of how much of a slug my car was. Some of them can be decieving though, money spent in the right places can wake them up considerably.
