quattro digest, Vol 1 #4457 - 'Rocco 16V brakes, was G60's on a CGT

[Larry C Leung]

Javad,

Not sure if your bias valve was working well on the Scirocco 16V,
I thought that they braked real well from 110 MPH in order to make
a 60 MPH turn in, no fade, good mod, and plenty of braking power.
Overall, I thought that the 16V 'Rocco was a pretty well balanced,
athletic car, kind of like a 4KQ, lacking Q but with a bit of steroid
enhancement. It's no rocket in modern day terms, but satisfying
in all respects. Of course, if your 16V had alot more HP......
