Maybe a stock 1.8T that didn't even know they were racing.. lol

I've taken down all kinds of swapped Honda's that I expected to be faster. I've lost to a few that were well built, but the average swapped CRX, Integra, Civic, etc aren't usually anything to be intimidated by.

He said he's got a weak motor with mild mods and killed a 1.8T. That's fine. All I'm saying is that if you think your z6 swap in a hatch is fast, come get some. lol... There's not a whole lot of aftermarket for the Passat's. I'm not 100% sure about the B5, but the B5.5 Passat 1.8T's motor sits different than a G/J 1.8T. One of my buddies has a really nice B5.5 but IIRC I think he said no one even ever wrote software for the Passat. That may have changed since then, but the average Passat 1.8T you run across is either going to be stock in terms of the motor.
