I think that car should be in mid to low 15s if you drive it right. For forums, check out www.vwvortex.com, plenty of @!#$s but a decent forum.

For performance parts try the crappy www.neuspeed.com, for chip/reflash tuning check out http://www.goapr.com/VW/index.html, for turbo needs www.eiptuning.com, and for absolutely everything for Volkswagen/Audi tuning and customization, try www.ecstuning.com

Hope this helps and good luck with the car.

Between getting my license and buying my Cavalier I used to drive my dad's 99 Jetta... it was the 2.0 auto so it was slow as hell (about 18.2 on the quarter, lol) but it looked great, handled brilliantly, had good brakes, and the girls loved it.

JH: It's called the 2.slooooow for a reason




If it's not network news, it's probably the truth getting out.

Some people are like slinkies: Not really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them
down a flight of stairs.

Ya, I know. But my dad has a 'Vette for when he wants to go fast so he got the two-point-suck for saving gas.
