Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

the worst part of it was that he had to drive the car on base the next day. he tried to hide it, but someone from his car club saw it. it was pretty funny, for me at least.

it's a goofy thing he made up, mainly to confuse ppl.

it's a GT w/ a 289 short block in it. W is for whipple. after he put in stage 3 heads/cams he was pushing 650hp, but that was before one of the valve stems broke.

He has a whipple charger on a built 289? Weird. I've only seen those on smaller motors like 2.0+ 4cyl...

really? he has a 2.3L whipple. his friend has a cobra, w/ dohc, has a 3.4L whipple on it.

it doesn't make sense to get a small engine, then try to push a ton of air into it.

For a second there, I thought you were talking about the displacement of the engine...then the  [coffee] kicked in.

pics. seriously, those are wicked. I wouldn't have bought my audi if they would have imported the rocco and right now only HPA motorsports is going to import them.

I hear they want $100k for their top model. dust anything, and I mean anything in its price range, or even twice as expensive.

Mine is the 200HP version.. the new GTI has a similar engine, the one in my car has been "smoothed" (read detuned) to 197ps.

The only pics I have are:





I really should take some more pics of this car!

It is really everything I wanted in a new car, the design is timeless (for my eyes), the engine is just right, the leather seats are wonderfully supportive (the new Scirocco R still has the same seats so they must be good), the Nav system works very well and the iPod connector is a god send for long journeys. I have had many happy miles with this car and look forward to having many more in the future!

What I don't like so much about the car:  the wheels and I can't put a hideaway (or any) towbar legally on the car.
