My friend just bought a 03 1.8t GTI it has cat back exhaust, larger intercooler , 93 oct chip and and a shifter. We had two races. The driver is new to driving a stick and i am sure he will do better over time. The frist race is from a roll and i took that race with about 5-6 lenghts and then shut it down. The second was from a roll(40) it was better for him and buy 100 i had him by 5 and then shut it down. Nice car i think it might have been closer if it was a better driver.

** I am not saying that i will beat all GTI's but i beat this one. I know i will take heat from the DR for this one.**

i would say that you should beat him but probably not that bad. but still a good run. those things can be quick.

No offense, I fixed your story a little.
Anywho, it is 'by', as in , I beat him 'by' 5 car's. Or, I walked on by.
Not to be confused with, I said goodBYE, or I told her, BYE.
I walked down the road BY a mailbox, it was pretty. :read:

They can be yes, but not anywhere near what a SRT-4 or a Cobalt SS can be(or maybe I don't see much aside from one new poster here).
I've never had any trouble beating them around my way in my stock GT, much less my modded neon. :shrug:
And no offense to the only 'one' I've known to run balls out at 99mph @ 14.7, I ran faster than that in my stock GT.......won't say what my 'neon' runs, without a turbo though :D (faster than my GT.) :rockon:

I really dont understand why people on this forum love to race GTIs. I have one and theyre great fun to drive, but come on is it really that big of an accomplishment to beat one?

U replied the same way when i posted my gti kill. just because u have 430 hp doesnt meen u couldnt loose to one. My cousin has a mach 1 with 470 at the wheels and lost to one at the track with nitr. and upgrade turbo. So why cant u just be cool and say nice kill.

If you look at my race against the gti i said he is the one who asked. its under first kill with the cobra. And yes it was fun beating him after he attempted to clown me in front of that hot girl. And just because ur 1.8 t is stock and slow doesnt mean there is not really fast ones like the on that beat my cousins car that would more then likely beat ur car. My friends 98 ss camaro also lost to one around my house. His camaro runs 12.7

Im sorry was anyone specifically talking to you? Nah not really. But hey, i agree, your Cobra would be a good race for a 1.8T :kaboom: :thumbsup: BTW, I would hope a 12.70 car would win against a stock daily driver GTI. Is 12.70 even considered quick these days?

Well when you said you dont understand why "People" love to race these things, you were talkin to me because i posted one the other night about beating one. And you know what, i guess it was a good race since my car is STOCK and he had his boost turned up. And oh yea, i can promise you that gti i raced could have beaten your car stock. 225hp 14.5 ish is what ur car is stock, yea it could have beaten you stock. so considering mine is stock i guess modded GTI's are good races for me. I think its funny how you talk trash about gti's being a good race for me saying my car is slow when the one i raced and plenty others with minor bolt ons could beat ur car stock. thats not saying very much for ur car now is it. let me do as much to my car as you did to yours and we'll see whos talkin trash about what cars would be a good race for me.

And i wasnt talkin about the 12.7 car beating a daily driven gti, i was talking about the gti that beat my cousins car beating ur LX. I didnt say anything close to a 12.7 car beating a daily gti. And im sorry if i think 12.7 is still considered quick, man i guess your way out of my league :shrug:. Whoever doesnt think 12.7 is quick is just a dumbass.

No your not, Stock SRT4's run better then 14.7

If you can do better now then prove it and do it and post the slip.

well, good...get down to your local drag strip and get us some slips on that beast...

Every GTi I have come against hasn't been all that close...in fact, at $2.50 a gallon it was a waste of time and money... :poke:

Is there anyone else on this site that has a GTi or SRT-4 with #'s whp and 1/4 mile.
Howell Automotive claims 452bhp and 476btq hitting 13.4 @ 112 weighing in at 2934lbs on their SRT-4. To me that does not sound right. Any info?
