Ok I have to tell some one because my girlfriend dosent want to hear about it.
I was on my way home from school when one of my friends called me and asked if i wanted to join them for some dinner, i said yea and met them at the resturant, but to my surprise it was closed. My friend shows up with his 20th anniversary edition GTI with his new 8000k hid's. So we wait till every one else shows up and decide to some where else.
So my GTI friend pulls out and gets on it, so i was like sweet maybe he'll race. So i pull up next to him and give him a little bit of the hks super-sequental, and he slows down to about forty five, i was happy he decided to go for it. I slow down, put it in second, and wait till his passenger counts down, we go from 45 i slowly start to pull until i miss third. Damn it so we slow down again. he counts off and we go at it again, this time i was pulling harder in second and when i hit third i got a nice view of his new hid's, it was awsome. It was the best because he was the fastest out of my friends until now. His mods included a front mount intercooler, 3 inch downpipe and exhaust, and some chip that makes him run 19 pounds of boost. I think he has some other stuff too but those are the main things.
Any ways thanks for reading, sorry for the long post.

um.. i don't see any MBC or boost controller in your sig.
ehh.. how much boost are you running ?? I find it hard to believe an SR S14 with 7 lb. of boost can beat a 20th anniversary GTi with 19 lb of boost and those mods..
(i'm just assuming your'e running stock boost since i don't see a boost controller or anything in your sig)
now, if you are running higher boost and don't have it in your sig, then i can believe it heh..

my guess is that his GTi friend n that passenger weights about 500lbs or more together that's why :-/

Do you live life one quarter mile at a time?

maybe the gti owner is just a dumbass for having 8millionK HID headlamps
or, maybe he just doesnt know how to drive
or
maybe you are a better driver.
or, maybe his car isnt setup right.
regardless of why or how, who cares? hehe okay okay, nice to hear you had fun.. but your story is worthless. sorry.
A mod chipped 1.8T with ins and outs has 200hp or so. The tiny turbo it comes with works hard to make that power... plus the car is over 3000 lbs so go figure.
My friend has a 1.8T GTI with a APR Stage 3 turbo kit on it. Supposedly over 280whp and blows away Evos on a rolling start. One of these days I'd really like to see how the ol' SR does against that... :) I was never a big fan of european cars.

case and point
you mean 'case in point'?
yay owning awd cars on a roll... yay....
It did run a 12.6 second quarter mile... not bad. That'd own a stock Evo even from a standstill. The GTI probably has slicks or something though.

dude there are some nice VW's in the world, i just dont like them because they're almost ALL fwd..
of course, back 10 years ago no one cared.. the whole scene was FWD. now people are starting to hop on the band wagon again.. interesting.
one thing i hate about vw, shitty electrical and not pleased with the build quality. my friend's corrado was a nightmare to work on.

What is it about the GOlf that makes it 3-wheel like a mother f-er under hard cornering? The one I saw had a cage and built suspension and it was still doin the tilt and lean...
the only vee dub i like is the OG beetle. them shits are fun to drive especially with 4 cylinder porsche motors. 170 horsepower running low 13's.

FWD burnouts look so fucking gay......
It's funny how they dont show the first race right after he does the first burnout.. I guess he got owned.. Then the second race is against a car with a r&s strauss wing.. Ofcourse its gonna look fast.. The the last 2 races look like a 2nd gen camaro, and a buick regal... and they didnt look worked at all..
I have seen some badass VW's and that is definitly not one of them.
