Subject:It's still Friday Vr6

Just did a 7 hour high speed run in the Wifie Poo's Jetta VR6 Wagon (AT).
What a hoot!
Just a few notes:
It cruises at 80 at 3150 RPM., with a lot of pedal left I must admit. The
tach redlines at 6300 and the speedo goes to 160 (sure!) At  62 mph//100
km/m the tach is at 2500.
The guys in the BMWs and Nippon rice burners just crank a second look when a
family of five is tooling along with and passing 'em at autobahn speeds...in
a VW wagon.
I would love to try this combination of engine AND transmission in a Van.
