Chris,

The problem with calling it Pokey is that it isn't pokey. :)  My '87 Syncro
has been known to go 90mph (a fact I only discovered as a result of pure
academic interest, I assure you) and the 2.1L Westies are rumored to go 80.
Your syncro should be Speedy A. Gonzalez compared to Pokey 1.

P.S. I've never driven an aircooled VW, so I can't say for absolute
certainty that water = faster, though I can guess.

P.P.S.  The "A" stands for agua!
