I remember there was discussion about twin charging engines, well VW has done it with the new Golf GT.

It sounds pretty good for a 1.4. It's within 1 second of the GTI which has the 2.0 TFSI that won the world engine of the year last week.

*Waits for flaming for driving a Golf and taking interest in new ones* :P

There's some new turbo golf thing i see most mornings, the thing goes hard. When he gunned it in first it tried to break traction when it hit boost, i presume they have traction control. While we're all used to that, it's pretty nuts for a golf!

^^ Holy shit what a weapon that would be! A RWD Golf of that power would be pretty scary though - I wonder if it would need one of those wheelie bar thingys. :P

W12-650 in action!
Sure... it's only practicing a slow drive by for some sort of show, but at the end they sit and give it a few revs... and it sounds awesome.
