Re: [T3] Keep it under your hat, Everett!


Hello-

I give bug-owners a ride in my 220hp T3, and they all think it's very odd.
It isn't all that loud or noisey.  As I accelerate, it doesn't even seem
ridiculously fast until you look down at the speedometer and it's just too
high to be "right."  :-).  I cruise along at 125mph on a back road with the
windows up and the A/C on - they can't believe that it's a VW.

The only problem with my car at that speed is bump steer - if the road is
rough, watch out.  The stupid unequal-length tie rods have _got_ to go...
and they'll probably be taking the non-camber-compensating twin trailing
arms with them...

Take care,
