    Hey all newbie here!!

    Its a common misconception that all 305's suck.Theres one in Jersey runnin mid-high 11's on a 150 shot.Not too bad considering its a truck motor with a small bore and small valves.I know that achieving mid 11's to you guys isnt anything,but for us 305'ers its a damn good achievment.

    Hey now Ive seen some times in the 15's listed on here by some people.So:p And the TSi is the winter car/daily driver.AWD is king o' the hill in the winter,and why not have a turbo car to go along with it,instead of a heavy garbage handling SUV or truck?? I really really want a TR.But I dont...
