The new VW FSI 2.0T. I was quite disapointed to see the overintegration of parts. I wish I took a pic in the car. The modability seems near zero. The turbo is low and to the right side, the hot side is cast into the manifold, the cold side is shaped all funny and stuff to clear the wheel well. its quite a tiny turbo and the compressor outlet is about a 1.5 or so inch pancake pipe. Its quite possibly the smallest charge pipe I've ever seen. It feeds a fairly small IC behind the radiator then the TB is dead front and center. There's lots of room in the front for an FMIC, I'm sure someone will come up with a new pipe layout. Right now it just sucks. The airbox looks to be integrated into the engine cover. So you can't pull it off. This thing may produce 8 PSI, but the volume certainly isn't there, so if its making 200 HP, its doing most of it the old fashioned way, so when those VW heads do get cracking on this... look out.

Sticker shock of the day.... 2006 Z06 starts at 64 and change, but the Chevy guy says they're all coming with the optional amenities package (XM, OnStar, heated seats, etc.....) and it ends up around $72K when all is said and done.

hhhha dang nice cars. im going there this thurs and hopefully gonna b a blast.

Go during the day. We went at noon, no one was there.

oh sweet. I wanted to go, but no one wanted to go with me this year. I went to the last 2.

any celebs go? what kinda free crap did you get?

the free shit dept. was lacking. I got a poster from Porsche, thats really about it. May get better as the week goes on, just opened today. I think Bow Wow was there today, I didn't care. www.washingtonautoshow.com should have the list of who's where when. I know Clinton Portis is there one day, and Jeff Halpern is there another, I don't know who else is showing up.

Im gonna be checkin it out this weekend im kinda excited... my girls gonna be modelin for range rover and my boys are supposed to have a booth set up on friday

for the seattle auto show i was there a day before they started to setup for it...cuz of a trade show

gahhh what game is that cheat code too? i know i know it...

^ Contra

hahhah, you beat me to it. old school NES contra pwns!!!!

whats that "up up down down...etc." mean on the back of the prius?

haha... check out my custom title :D

like they said, its an old video game cheat code. It was from a game called Contra for the Nintendo entertainment system/family com.


Are there any cars worth going to see in person? I remember last years' Porsche Carrera GT was worth it for me. Also i saw the CLS and a couple of good looking Maserati's that didn't look that great in pix, but were stunning in person.

there's a carrera GT there again. a bunch of exotics, the new shelby mustang and a GT, the new Z06, ummmm depends what you want to see. there's a big exhibit of severely overdone yet expensive ricemobiles too

isnt it up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A, start? :giggle:

The new Challenger is HOT.
