Had i little run in wit a 1.8T passat yesterday and i trashed it! that cant b the same engine as whats in the Octy is it? it was a pretty new passat! Il b pretty chuffed if im quicker than a standard Octy VRS!

(ohn would like to take this oppotunity to say i do not condone racing)

The Passat would be 150bhp, plus its huge.

You wont be quicker than a propper VRS Remember the 1.8T is available in "non-sporty" power levels from the factory too.

The MKI Octavia Elegance had 150bhp from the same engine.

How new was it? Didn't think the 1.8T was available on the current model? :confused:

Its not, but you can get the 3B Passat up to around a 55 plate.

I thought it was pretty slow! i would have 2 hav 220bhp+ to beat it the way i did if it had bin 180BHP!

Ah well, still put a smile on my face and a frown on his!
