[China the Cat]

Sounds like another episode of Motor Week, where they like to put American cars in unfair match ups, then talk about how poorly our cars perform in their biased tests......Where can we begin?..The Jetta 1.8T is 180 hp/173lb ft, 5-speed trans, has 20 valves, and weighs only 2973 lbs. As we all know, the Grand Prix is heavy at 3560 lbs, not available w/ manual trans, and has only 12 valves to help it breathe. Even so, a stock GTP should still smoke a stock Jetta 1.8T off the line.
