Who all placed at TDIFest 2008

LOL Pete. Congrats! I thought 2nd place got a plaque, but I don't really remember. Maybe you just get your name on the internets.

So if 2nd place got a plaque what does 1st place get? (New Beetle)

 

[VeeDubTDI]

A bigger plaque? I don't remember... I got 1st place. Still haven't gotten my award though!

Plaque for 2nd place? I won 1st place for the same category and didn't receive anything!

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Yeah, I didn't get mine yet either. They said they were going to mail it out.

Oh well, no biggie.

Are you going to have plaques this year, at Dulles for the winners, I hope ?

 

[bhtooefr]

I'm glad I've got a gasser, and am therefore ineligible to win, because getting a plague would suck.

 

[Bob_Fout]

Driving a gasser IS a plague all its own though.

Five words: Seven thousand revolutions per minute.

Two words: Torque it!

/EDIT: Why does it take so many revs to make 116 BHP?

 

[bhtooefr]

Because it's a 1.6L made in 1992?

For a 1.6L, 116 bhp was actually quite good for a daily drivable engine with econobox maintenance requirements back then, with no turbo...

I've driven your car. Fairly certain it's making less than 116 bhp

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Toof, don't try and convince us of the superiority of your 3 cylinder Miata.

I'm certain, too - I was just answering Bob's question.

It sure answer my question about who placed .

That's it?

My VW gasser turns 9,000rpm!


BTW, still waiting for that 2nd place.......

 

[bhtooefr]

My Miata engine is also stock, though.

I hear an F20C conversion isn't TOO hard if I want 10,000 RPM.
