typ 89 90q vs mk2 golf gti

Alan,

The keys are weight and driveline loss. Put the difference in weight(you can
use warm bodies for this) plus something like 50 lbs more to simulate the
driveline loss, then compare again.

However, if you are on a slipery surface (water, snow, ice) then the opposite would
be the case.

Later,

Carlos
