This really sucks..

Yeah, even the crappy minvans are packing over 200hp these days!!!



In the last 10 or so years since your car was built, it went from being "pe=
ppy" to almost downright slow.  Trucks these days are packing 250-300hp on =
just the entry models, realistically, that guy should have passed you right=
up.

Sorry, no offense, but 160hp doesn't go too far to accelerating a 3k lb sed=
an.  Drive up to Mt. View one day and I'll be happy to give you a ride in a=
300+ hp version of your car can do.

Funny thing too, in the last 5 years that I've been doing q-club events, th=
e fastest cars in '96 were chipped 5ktq's, recently at Laguna there wasn't =
one single 5ktq on the track, but a bunch of chipped S4tt's and 1.8t's, muc=
h faster cars by comparison.  Cars have just been getting a lot faster in t=
he last 5 years.  Of course, chipped S4tt's weren't anything my old 80tq co=
uldn't handle  ;)
