First, I gotta get me a 3.46 LSD. Then, I'm going for an ESS SC. Just hope I have enough dough for the twin screw...
Incidentally, just test drove my son's new VW GTI (chipped to over 300HP). At low rpm, I find the turbo lag and build-up highly annoying, and the handling, steering, and sound leave something to be desired--no comparison to a ZHP or any E46. Of course, I would LOVE that power, and plan to get it, but I wouldn't trade everything else to get it. In a nut shell, that car felt very inferior... only fair to keep in mind, I guess, that he paid well under $30k for it brand new.
