180 vs 225 specs

Re: 180 vs 225 specs
hmm... that shows 6.3 for the 225 and 7.9 for a fwd automatic 180. however, no 1/4 times and the 0-60 for the 180 is not the quattro or manual transmission. I have seen 7.2, 7.4, and 7.9 now. I guess I will continue to hunt for a motortrend review.

don't trust the reviews. Quattro is tricky to launch especially on a turbo.
Also a lot depends on the climate where the car was tested. You really have to compare apples to apples.
1/4 and 0-60 times are about 1 second appart for 225 and 180 quattros. 0-60 times are very hard to judge because 225 has 6 gears and needs an extra gear change to hit 60 so you really can't compare them. All in all when talking about quattro versions, 225 is much faster and can be made to perform on a stock turbo at nearly the same level as a stage 3 180.
