Default Got a 3.0 Tip Quottro as a loaner today

Car feels like my chipped 1.8t I actually think i would smoke it off the line. Not that impressed with this motor at all. I expected alot more. Now im stuck with this thing until monday

Default Must be the tip

Because I've seen stock 3.0 manuals beat chipped 1.8t - and consistently.

Default The 3.0 doesn't feel as fast as the 1.8T because you don't get that turbo surge...

Power is much more linear and the car has to be driven differently to properly wring it out. Also, is your car a manual tranny? If so, it probably <i>is</i> faster than the 3.0Q Tip...

PS I wouldn't say you're "stuck" with it. Some people don't get loaners at all...

yeah dont complain, my audi dealer gives me a little ford thing or mitsubishi POS, and if i want for $27 a day i can upgrade to a premium jaguar or something nicer.... because they just give me credits for enterprise located in their service area.. believe me it sucks
