i was headed back to toronto from hamilton in the middle of the night last night with clear roads. had a few good runs with this red mkII jetta with a giant down-turned 3" exhaust. he was blowing a good amount of black smoke and it was all my little rabbit could do to keep up with him. he must have had some serious auto-cross suspension on there the way that car took the corners! my old soft OE suspension just couldn't cut it. i'm really serious about getting the bilsteins in the spring now.

good run doc, thanks for all your help  8)
