Yeah, the VW turbo 2.0L had nothing in common with the motor in my Sunbird other than they were both originally 1.8L and then grew to 2.0L.  Still, I have driven both and their throttle response is similar.  The Bird has more lag...and a shit-ton more torque steer due to unequal length drive shafts....

Yep, this one was the 1.8T. It was the MKIV, drive by wire... almost instant throttle response. Turn off the traction control and it would light up the front tires. My friend had a sharp Sunbird back in high school, but it wasn't turbo. He had it all decked out, lowered a few inches, with a big stereo instead of a hot rod, lol.
