Title pretty much says it all, its a 2.0L Turbo 2006 passat. I love how the car drives, my only question is, can I tune it for the track? How much horse power do you think I can get out of it, all the reviews and info i find on the car are more so about comfort, can't really get any performance info, im selling my 1990 nissan 300zx to get this (NA) and i was hoping for comparable speeds.
Thanks for any and all help guys, also any other suggestions as far as cars would be greatly appreciated.

dont buy a vw, they are money pits! don't say i didn't warn ya!

 

The 2.0t is very mod friendly. I am sure you could get suspension for the passat, but it is a LARGE fwd car, so it isn't going to be ideal for any track use.

 

straight line yes, autox no lol.

 

Exactly, if you are looking in that price range for a newer VW why not a get a newer GTI or evr a GLI? Both smaller, lighter, even more parts available, dont need as much power to go fast. Overall a better "track car" platform than the passat is.

 

fixed

oh and agreed if you want a daily driver/track car dont get a passat thats more of a lower it an inch and put sick ass wheels car not a race car as they are tanks

 

Hmm true, guess ill search around for a GTI or GLI, thanks for the advice guys!

 

What kind of track would this Passat be seeing? It really depends on whether you are out there to have fun (a Passat would be fine) or to actually be competitive (look at the GLI/GTI or maybe an A4).

 

Passat = heavy.

My GTI ownes my A4 both with the 2.0t. Those sedans are heavy. I was very surprisesd how fast my GTI was when it was stock (APR stg1 now). Pluss you can haul more shit in a hatch.
