alright this kid at my school just bought a 2000 gti, not the vr6 or 1.8t, i forget the exact model but he said its got the same hp as our car stock. now i have an auto, and he has a stick. i have a tenzor exhaust and injen cai, and am ordering dc ceramic 4-2-1 header as well as pullies and cam gear and the apex s-afc. will i be able to beat him if i have all that and he just gets an intake and exhaust? his birthdays still not for a few months so hell get his lisence then, and hes already all "yeah ill kick your *** so hard" so i gotta prove him wrong. let me know what you think...and for people who hate street racing, well be doing street night at the tracks in atco nj!

i don't think its not a gti if its not a turbo or vr6. those are your only two options. either way francene i hope your *** is clean! b/c he is about to hand it to you. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

kid's parents buy him a car a few months before his bday? wtf? hehe

anyway, yeah, the GTI is only available in 1.8t or vr6, it could be a base golf 2-door hatchback, which has a pretty anemic n/a 2.0l, you could be able to beat him stock

yeah i thought it was only vr6 or 1.8 also but he said it only has 127 hp stock...kinda weird but i dunno. i wanna beat him just cause kids in my cool are suck d**ks when they get a new car, the first thing they say is "o im gonna beat u so bad". i was going for alll show with my car but not anymore...i wanna take some people down

If its GTI you will get smoked thats stands for Turbo intercooler, you will lose but if its not like that one guy said u might be ablke to beat him.

What about the TDI GTI's???? Those deisels are torquey!

LuvMyCivic

Unlike our cars, they have low-end torque. Their power is from around 2500 RPM's to around 5800 RPM's. And, I hate to say it, but those cars have pull even in 5th gear!!!

I have a friend that has a '91 GTI that was an SCCA car...naturally aspirated, but modded out the ***!!! He'd hand my *** to me easily.

If you do end up racing him, which I wouldn't suggest, plan on getting beat. You have an auto and can't guarentee red-line and VTEC engagement in every gear (which wouldn't mean much in our cars anyway, but...)

Booohahaha

yup ur as good as toast unless u got NOS on ur car.
sorrie man i was gonna get GTI VR6, cuz their fast when they come out of the factory
why would u get a s-afc??? u got a lx or something?
yup same thing i was thinking the gti only come in 1.8T or vr6 there is no diesel version of it in 2 door trim!

DaddyFatSacks

I don't know about 2000 but I looked at a gti that was 98 and it came with a NA 4 2.0.

My mom has a 1999 Jetta with the same motor.

You have an auto. Your dead

my friend has a GTI, and it doesnt say 1.8T or VR6 on the back of his just GTI, i think thats what your asking? My friends is a 2.0 5 spd and when we zoom on the highway we're pretty much neck and neck..but racing might be a different story [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
