Now a nicely tuned PSD may get it fast enough for it to lift off... Try that for publicity...
True......but either way it don't mean a damn to me, let's see that thing pull over 20K up a steep grade and then back down at 60MPH without a sweat.......or better yet hook the "VW" up to a horse trailer with 7 or 8 wild azz horses throwin' the trailer from side to side.....
