My friend has a new VW R32. The one with the six sped and he took me. We started from at about 35 mph. I was bumper to bmper with him until about 90 then he pulled on me. I was so upset. Tomorrow i put on my shoty headers and i also ordered my h-pipe today. So there will be a rematch.

94 GT automatic with 3.73's, flowmasters, and K&N filter.
Is the car faster with the overdrive on or off. It seems to pull harder wiht it on but has anyone actually timed the thing?

r32's aren't fast but they aren't that slow either

as far as your overdrive it doesn't really matter

all od is is 4th gear. when your shifter is in 3rd it just limits your trans from shifting past 3rd. however, from a roll that is just that much less your trans has to down shift to get into the right gear. it feels faster becouse the downshift is quicker

I need to read that closer to. I didn't even notice. Well I put on my shorties and they sound good with a slight SOTP notice. Easy install! Well worth it.
