This goes to show you the INCREDIBLE superiority of German Engineering over American Engineering when a BONE STOCK Passat W8 has a higher top speed than a Stock C5 ZO6.



The Passat W8 is the Cousin of the Legendary Bugatti Veyron W16 after all.



Passat has much better gearing ratios and a 0.27 drag coefficient.



According to the top speed calculator, the 2002 Passat W8 only needs



411 BHP to reach 200 MPH, a Corvette would need at leas 550 BHP or more.

To each his own... No further comment except to say you will not see a Passat in my garage... Loved the Audies I have owned however ..

ISTM we've seen this crap before?

AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp (both tops)

The Passat W8 is a family car and not really meant for the track. It's meant for Autobahn Cruising @ 155 MPH+. It's very front heavy and weighs 2 tons even though it's a midsize car in proportion. Volkswagen Autogroup makes other cars such as the Bugatti Veyron W16, Lamborghini Gallardo V10, Audi S6 V10 MTM, Audi R8, and Volkswagen Golf GTI W12 which will whoop any American car on the track.

Oh, I almost forgot one of the most legendary cars that VAG makes, the Audi TT Bimoto.

So the car goes 170- 180 mph. In a straight line with plenty of road.

So, what if there's a curve? What if you have to brake? What if there's a pothole?

Straightline speed is one thing. A real car has many aspects. I drive a real car.

REPLY: Well then, its a Sports Car Wannabe. This NG is for the American Icon : Corvette -- not family cars. If you like Family Cars then that is nice ; however, we love our Corvettes and Cynics to the Corvette are not welcomed in here. Unless you have a car that begins with the letter 'C' and ends in 'e' and is fiberglass, then you picked the wrong NG to be bragadocious in.

Good day to you.

:>What about the 650 BHP Golf GTI W12 Twin Turbo aka Corvette SS :>Killer?

You're trying to polish a turd. Corvette people don't like turds, polished or not.

Enjoy your VW. :)

The Volkswagen GTI W12 Twin Turbo is a legit MID-ENGINE SUPERCAR. The W12 Engine was actually originally designed for the VW 12 Nardo Supercar Concept that was made to destroy Enzos on the track.

Front Engine Cars like the Corvettes are mere PRETENDERS, real Super- Cars have MID-ENGINE SETUP. Why settle for a lowly front engine car when you can get a Mid-Engine Supercar for less money? Here are some images that what kind of beast the W12 in the GTI really is.

Why would anyone settle for a Front Engine car with understeer like the Corvette SS whent they can get a Mid-Engine Exotic like the Volkswagen GTI W12 Twin Turbo with Supercar manners on the track?

It's just crazy to even start compare NON-PRODUCTION cars to production cars. What was the Callaway Sledgehammer's Production run?

5000? 1000?, 50? Actually in its own category, the Sledgehammer Corvette is very slow, even electric cars in the NON-Production category are faster

Street Legal Cars are much faster.http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1161348277/Worlds_Fastest_Street_Legal_Car_-_2200BHPSince you're bringing up cars that aren't even production, I'll do onebetter. My souped up Volkswagen Nardo W12 does 306 MPH in Grand Turismo 4, take that Sledgehammer Corvette.

And the last time your little VW won the 24 Hours of Lemans was.....?
