VW BS
I have raced one of those newer VW GTI 6 cylinder cars and he barely beat me. His car is a stick, and my car is an automatic. His is bone stock, and i have the K&N open air element. Can any1 tell me what i need to do to my car so i can beat him? Any suggestions would be helpful

the new vr6s usually run low 15s high 14s. They arent that bad but I don't think they have much room for potential.
There is a guy with a 98 GTI VR6 in Jersey that was talking so much smack to me. He just bought a Vortech supercharger. Josephandres who has an 88 355TPI GTA (14.1 1/4mile) beat the guy off the line and on the highway. Glad he did, now I don't have to waste the gas on him . haha Made my day.

by the way 89rosrod, one of those barely beat me when I was 100% stock. You must drive well. Although I did need a tune up, couldnt drive stick, and bogged out my launch. I found the guy about a month ago on the road and he wouldnt wait for me to race. He must of heard the whine
