fake *** turbo beetle
So i was just drivin around and this 02 beetle pulls up next to me i look over he had some graphics on the bottom part of his door and they looked to say turbo, and i was like **** i'm going to get smoked. We hit a red light he starts reving but i dont hear a turbo or BOV, so now i'm 
light turns green we hit it he gets lucky on the launch gets only 1 car lenght in front of me. next light i get a good start and fukin dusted his *** bad. So we end up going to the same store we get out and talk, he had a stick and really sucks at shifting, the graphics said turbo but the car was not turbo, he even had the turbo emblem on back. I felt really good after that since the last 10 people that i raced kicked my *** bad and 2 of them where turbo beetles. i really need that k20 swap

I am former VW owner, and unless there is an aftermarket intake on that turbo you will not hear it. The turbo Beetles are a lot slower than the turbo GTIs. They run around low 16's with a good driver, so if this guy was really bad at shifting and launching I can see you beating him.

If it were a turbo the lil flap thing on the back would lift up. Did you see that? I believe it does that at 45+mph. Anyways, those things are slow...

Rep Power: 285 2.0 GLS: 115hp
1.8t GLS/GLX: 150hp
1.8t Turbo S: 180hp
So, the Civic should probably beat the 2.0L, and I could even see a near stock or even stock manual civic being a driver's race with the heavier GLS/GLX, but the Turbo S should pretty much own any near stock Civic.

i smoked one of those Turbo S buggers! a month ago! the funny thing is i was rollin 40 at 45 MPH and I think he saw me from a cross street and chased my ***! when we where even we both punched it, I was on 4th gear, and he went about a car ahead of me, then I started gaining and ended up 3 cars ahead of em at about 95MPH!
he chased me and he got smoked! he dug up his own grave! haha! now that's funny!
