Re: Definitely base model... (G60syncro)

So true. That thing is hilarious. I'd be ANGRY to buy a car with such a useless waste of materials. I mean.... it seems they de-engineered each gauge to differentiate the base model CL 8V from other Passats. WHY?

Holy Smokes!

240 km/hr!!! Thats amazing! That must be on a euro autobahn cuz in Canada, our highways are usually to congested to do that, or you get what I call "Marters" that pull in front of you to slow you down cause they feel its their job to keep peace on the raods.
401 drivers blow! mostly
By the way, PerL, those diesels, are they stock?

No idea. They may be chipped, but the trannies are probably stock, so they do have the potential. I just found the pics at http://come.to/need4speed where a lot of speedometer pictures are collected. All pics are welcome, as long as the car's top speed is shown

Probably because the cluster is from a B4.
