Exactly thanks...
I was looking at the specs of the new 3.0 and was affraid it would be as $hitty as the old 12V it's derived from. My dad used to own a 12V and boy was that slow, he was therefore considering the 1.8T w/chip for is next one (2002), but I believe the new 3.0's got ±220lb-ft@3200 w/6-speed while 1.8T has ±208@2200 so 3.0 might do it.

Re: Explain how the "old" v6 is ****ty?
OK it may ALSO be the fact that he had an automatic transmission (slowest transmission ever), but still, the engine has no low-end power, not enough torque, but I have to admit at high speed it still has enough power.
In general, I was EXTREMELY dissapointed with the 2.8Q/5-speed auto combination...it simply wasn't lively and responsive at all.

I have a '96 2.8 auto, and a '97 2.8 stick. The 5-speed is a MUCH faster animal.
The tranny really inhibits all the low end power. It's the main reason I got the '97.
