well once again my car is a stock LO3 with a catback. auto and such with sticky tires and wider rims which are now the 8" wide ones.

opponents car is a 01 passat with a 1.8t and a tiptronic tranny. car is also stock.

about 1 week back we are at a light the driver wants to go for it since i knew them. then brake torque as i just sit holding the brake. light turns green the floor it using the tiptronic to shift they spin a little tire on launch and take of so then i decide what the hell and just floor it. after about 3 seconds i start to pull hard on the passat. and a few seconds after im waving goodbye as a pull past and still pulling hard.

not to exciting since it is 2 very slow cars but just thought id share.

 

well atleast u won i guess but u are right both of u do have slow cars

 

What's wrong with a slow race?! The fun just lasts a little longer!

 

You got a good point.

 

lol yes it was but it was all in fun and it was fun to do and see the outcome of even thought i knew the passat couldnt touch my car not trying to be cocky or anything but a long race is a fun race

 

ill give u that its fun when torque destorys faster cars off the line even if they do pull ahead of u

 

no the other driver got a at least 3 second head start on me but it was fun to play catch up then wave goodbye

 

Hell yea i race all the time with my Bone Stock L03 i love the look on peoples faces when i get done racing and i say the car only has 170Hp stock

 

yea when people ask im like 170 stock they guess at least like 220 then theyre faces are like then i laugh knowing its so damn slow and its a V8. but in the end the torque is lovable

 

what a great thread!

 

damn right any of these cars will knock your socks off

 

I love the tiptronic autos, it makes me feel like I'm driving an indy car or something

 

i find them kinda pointless but its better than my 700r4 cause when i get bored i want to shift and not go 1 2 D O o well but i usually get to drive the passat a lot so its all good

 

gotta love torque

 

260 ft ibs and looking for me cause i love it so much

 

When people are in my car and ask if its fast, I wait for it to shift to second and let it slow down a little, and then floor it to put it in first, and get the little throw back in the seats. People go whoooooa it is fast.

 

when i stomp on the camaro in first, it doesn't put you into your seat anymore like it did when it was stock. Now it just feels like it's going to slide in a 180 and there's lots of smoke everywhere

 

And here ladies and gentlemen, is a very good argument for a reason to not modify your car......

 

i like youre little 2nd to first trick there to mess with people it does feel fast but o well what can ya do if only we had money or I i dunno if you all do im just waiting for my SHO money in a month then ill be fast with a ford which i hate to say.

 

The sucky situation with the money is i had it (some), but it went it into stuff like new radiator, brakes, master cylinder, accident, tires, amp, subs, blaahhhhhh - mostly restoration type stuff or audio. Only $50 went to dual snorkel air cleaner. Sooo, until I graduate my camaro is gonna be mostly sho, and little go.

btw urban, i dream of my car doing that

 

My car felt like that and it was front wheel drive.

 

Sorry guys, I really apologize for being mean, but I have got to get this out of my system...

Reading about this race sounds a lot like watching the Special Olympics...

(Again, sorry! )

 

hey i dont blame you but it wasnt a full out race it was just a good friend of mine having fun with me nothing serious or anything. but i even agree with you and this is my "race"

 

No question, raw power.

 

You must have never ridden in a bolt on L98. 350 lb ft tq

 

The automatic passats is the slowest 1.8t VW made. Even with bolt ons they are still dogs.

Good kill though.

 

as a matter of fact my dad owns a 1987 IROC Z with the 5.7 and ive driven that and wow i know its a huge *** difference between mine and his but i can only dream for now.

and yes it is the slowest but the driver finds it funny and enjoys it not for beating someone but just for racing i dont know why.
