They are torquey and have a very broad power band which makes them very, very drivable if not downright fun. But fast? No, I wouldn't say that. I "ran into one" on the highway about four weeks ago while I was driving my '88 9kt. My car is semi-stock - in the power department, it has an upgraded coil and nice plugs and wires as well as a 3" turbo-back exhaust but it's running the stock APC box. It also has 240,000 miles on it. This guy decided that his GTI didn't have to drive by my 12 year old Saab and took off. Well, I wasn't going to have that so I downshifted to third, caught up, and blew by him. He tried to keep up, but at about 100mph we both backed off, content that his little black Golf wasn't adequate. :)
Of course I ran home and told my friend - a guy who turned in his '85 900T on a '00 GTI. Now he wants to race. :)
