Default Blue R32??

So who owns the 'electric' blue VW R32 I see driving around in this part of town?

I see it at Panera allot - I think the guy works there.

Also, I passed him on Cotton Hill the other week, he waved at me.

Anyone know who he is? I'd like to meet up with him sometime.


Also who owns the Black R32 down on 419 at that tire shop accross from Montano's/Maggie Moo's?

The black one belongs to my good friend Brian... He's the manager there.

The blue one, does it say 1OF5K or something like that on the license plate? There are 3 blue R32's around here that I recall.

Best I recall, the 1OF5K or whatever it says is owned by a blue one... or at least I thought it was. The driver is a relatively young late 20's or early 30's black guy. I can't think of his name off of the top of my head, but Brian knows him, and I've met him a few times.

I know two people that own blue ones, and there's one that belongs to someone I have never met but they flash their lights or wave when we pass eachother.

Gotcha,
I'd like to meet up with the blue guy. Or any of those owners really. They're pretty quick cars from the get-go. Do you know if any of them have done any serious mods yet?

None of them..

...and no, the R32's really are not that quick. They sound amazing, and have a great AWD platform (and a stout motor that can handle a good portion of power) but they're really not that fast.

And the 1.8T is muuuuuuuuuch faster dollar for dollar. The HPA and EIP stage 3 kits for the R32 cost as much as the freaking cars to make 500-600awhp.

Ahh gotcha.

Yeah i read they have a 0-60 time of 5.8 which is pretty good, but not the greatest. And run the 1/4 in 14.1

In order to be competitive around here you gotta run LOW 13's or in the 12's at least.
