So my buddy is talking alot of trash about how his 1.8T is gonna whoop my ass at the strip in a few weeks. We're both stock, any suggestions?

 

you shouls be able to take him. He runs high 15's and you high 14's. It also depends on the driver. So if you suck, he has a chance.

 

I owned a 97 jetta VR6. It moved. On the parkway it handed it to my R. It ran a 14.8 @ the strip with a intake chip and exhaust. 1.8's are slow until you chip them and free up the turbo, (ie. downpipe, exhaust etc). What i'm sayin' is, my VR walked on stock 1.8t's and my R walked on my VR :?
you do the math!
R by 6 car lengths

 

Modified, GTI's can be beasts... but stock for stock you should beat him. Assuming you can drive/launch an R properly.

until the tranny falls apart :lol: :lol: :lol:
had to do it sorry...don't like VW's at all....

 

I'm surprised your VR6 beat 1.8s all the time, given that stock there's about a 1 sec. difference in 1/4 mile times. Seems kinda weird that chip, intake, and exhaust could improve it that much. Maybe you had sticky tires on and the 1.8s had the stock Michelin crap?

 

No, I like to think of it as a Type vR. Just a step above the rest!

I really couldn't tell you why my car was what it was. I think it was because I drove it like a Honda. No other VW banged @ 8k rpm!!!!!!! :lol:
I miss it so much. I :heart: my R though.

 

Don't sweat man. My buddy just got a brand new 03 1.8T Golf and I raced him in my old 2.2 Cav with a 55 shot of nitrous and beat him twice (from a roll he had me though) That was about a month ago and since then I've picked up my dream Type R and this thing would kill my cav even with nitrous so stock for stock I wouldn't even think twice about his 1.8T.

 

bro are u serious. a stock gsr will beat his ass. you will destroy him
tell him to beat it

 

I owned a 1.8T before, trust me, even if u cant drive, u'd still walk on a stock 1.8T... especially in 3rd gear
the gti 3rd gear sucks
