[QUOTE="Mun, post: 421612, member: 17916"] Had a stint a couple of days ago with a scirocco - 2 ltr turbocharge on the Plus Hway Got a 'line clear message' from a buddy from Ipoh to KL. Traffic is light after lunch. Was cruising 180-190kmh mostly until I passed a black scirocco on the middle lane near slim river. Looked over my rear view mirror - no action. So I keep minding my own business and speed with occasional glance over the rear view. Less than 5 minutes later i saw small blipping HID about slightly more than half kilo. So I poked the stick to DS. It could very well be the VW! Next glance, it was a getting closer, and closer. that car must be doing at least 200kmh. So I poked the stick to M4 It was finally on my tail as i reached traffic and when traffic cleared i floored. Cannot give a little bit of chance! It was a long straight just after Tg Malim interchange, I was touching 220 and my fav fast corner is appearing fast. This scirocco will eat me, definitely. I wasn't giving any chances and hold the throttle thru the first right sweep. I didnt looked back on the first right sweep as I have to concentrate on the line as the first one is tighter from the second. It was almost 190 mid corner of the second left sweep and I saw a gap. Not a big gap, but still a significant gap to motivate. A couple more sweep coming up and I'm not giving any chances and focus straight on and didn't looked back. When the straights returned, the VW was way back. NOt sure what happened ; 2 things on my mind ; either he quit during the fast corners or the turbo charged engine just couldn't stand the high speed chase over long period. Mind you, all my six cylinders was revving very close to red line most of the time. Can surely do that on NA engine. So the rest of the journey, I was having thoughts about turbocharged engine whether it can handle prolonged highspeed and rev. I had some thought on the C250 two months ago and A4 quattro last week. Also had some thought on the 3.0 ltr stroker, hehehe... that would be nice ;-) or maybe the VW simply decided not to eat me :( . It was fast!! [/QUOTE]
