Just destroyed him by about 10 cars. I have nothin but a k&n, some nice tires and a slightly tuned ignition as of now. He's got everything a 4 banger could get and I destroyed him. Thought you guys would appreciate that.

L69? For the Jetta's sake i hope so. MY car would only win by like 7 cars

well forget the fact that we wound up both getting pulled over....

Doh!

Get cited?

man VW are slow POS's!! i know someone that works at Dubworks (VW shop) and they were moding her VW golf...17 sec car stock,, they did EVERY thing to it!! well except internals. im talkin chip, intake, exhaust, and whatever else these people do to these cars and it ran a 16.0!!! and they were happy as can be about it! then there was another car at the track that had everything done, including nitrous, and a laptop computer... ran a 15.7!

Turbo GTI's are fast.

pulled over eh? get a ticket?

I have to disagree here. I'm not a honda or rice fan, but VW's are cool, and can be very quick! My best friend bought his wife a 01 New Beetle 1.8turbo auto. K&N, boost controller, and exhaust this car went high 14's. Last time we went to the midnight drags in Tulsa he murdered 4 hondas, some toyota POS, and a clean 72 Chevy SWB truck! I see alot more tuners than ricers in the VW crowd. I am aware that a stock 2.0 golf isn't very quick, but neither was the base motors in our cars.
89 Iroc-406, TFS heads, Vic Junior intake, 800 holley, TKO 5 speed, moser 12 bolt with 3:73's. Shooting for high 11's
97 Ext.cab Chevy 350, K&N FIPK kit, power programmer, Flows with no cats, 75 shot, 3:73 posi-14:85
67 VW camper bus-1600 DP electronic ign., dual solex carbs, header-high 19's

A turbocharged 1.8L Beetle (really light) with a mods like that only ran high 14's? sorry dude but that's not fast in my book, granted it's faster than 16.0 but still, high 14's are nothing to a Bone Stock 350 TPI car, so I'm not sure that qualifies as fast.

And still everytime I see one of those new Beetles one word comes to mind Herbie

Later, Garrett

Jettas Corrados and Turbo GTI's :hail:

Ok...that last post looks really dumb because the emoticon thingies didn't show up

the smilies, take a second or 2 to load.

though i did get my *** kicked at the track by a 12 sec GTI...hehe

Well no, there not that fast. But I figured some of you would appreciate the defeat anyway. BTW, the guy I was racing is my best friend who happens to be a cop. So no, we didn't get cited.... I was hoping it was the local 4th gen camaro cop pulling us over but no such luck.

Close one...

I think VWs are cool too. They are about the only FWD cars that I actually want to drive. German companies like to tune cars to the most potential, which means adding simple bolt-ons won't improve performance a whole lot. With GM cars, only the most restrictive and cheapest parts are good enough for our cars so when we add a cam, filter, exhaust, there is a noticable difference. Old GM engines have lots of power than can be excavated.
