mph = 100.67

His current mods are:

GIAC chip
GHL Cold Air Intake
18" SSR Comps w/ Kumho MX tires

He had 1/2 tank of 93oct costco pump gas.

Not bad for a naturally aspirated dub. to Anthony on a great run.

11sec with less than 200HP? that thing must weigh like 500 pounds.

Can someone explain the 4-motion AWD system for me, I'm trying to find out how the diffs work in this car but, VW's websight doesn't really explain it.

I know it uses a Torsen diff somewhere, but I don't know if they mean up front, or in the back? What kind of diff is it running at both ends and in the middle?

Its actually Haldex, not Torsen. Quattro is a Torsen diff setup. Essentially the car is fwd until slipage is detected and then power is reverted to the rear. It is entirely possible for the car to divert 100% of its power to the rear wheels. Its really a cool setup.

EDIT: check out their page: http://www.haldex-traction.com/default.htm
