dont get me wrong i think the car itself is worth what they are asking for it
but $25000usd to get 190horsies on an independant dyno and 246 on your own
theres money out there for someone to develop a "purist" pill
for those suffering from ESHP syndrome
excrement, steep hill, pointy stick 
its just a car for f*%k sake

I think the 190HP might have been a chassis dyno, and the 246HP an engine dyno. That gives a gearbox efficiency of about 77% which is in the ballpark
for a VW.
