Nice Tige!

Looks like they match perfectly. Although I am nearly colorblind!

I have a Moomba Mobius LSV that I am going to be towing with my new to me 2005 Touareg V8. Can't wait!

 

canuckegg, I see you are in my part of the woods. Where do you like to take your boat- you out to alouette or rocky point or??

 

Nice boat, another lower mainlander here....welcome

 

vwDavid - We tend to go to Cultus as it is the warmest lake around here. Get a bit crazy due to the large crowds and boat rentals. Alouette is not bad but cold and also busy. Stave Lake is just as cold but with smaller crowds.

Thanks for the welcome NorthVan997C2S. We share similiar tastes Porsches and Touraregs. I have an old 964.

 

You have to watch being impressed by peak torque. A diesel "generally" produces its torque lower in the rpm range and with a much flatter curve. A gas engine may produce a larger number, but, "generally" nowhere near for as long. If they are 50 ft lb's apart, I bet if you looked at the torque curves, the diesel actually produces more area under the torque curve for the rpm range you work it. Re-worded, ... more usable torque. Of course, if use use the rpm range right under the peak in the gas and shift a lot that won't be true.

It would be interesting to look at the two torque curves.

 

TS was talking about two gas engines?
I am impressed with my V8 gas torque by the way. I will have no issues with anything you hook on the hitch. It will pull it fairly easily

 

Love the 964, have a few buddies with RSA's

 

964 was the best!

 

Now that is an argument that could go on and on with Porsche enthusiasts. IMO they are all excellent vehicles, and a blast to drive.

 

My bad. Well then, I am also impressed with the V8 torque then too, as the 5.6 is no slouch.
