Do I have a chance???
 

Against a 1998 Passat 1.8T auto, my civic...2k1 si, 5speed, sri, cat-back exhaust, Solo Short Shift adapter...well...do I have a chance??[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] This dude wants to race best of 3 for $100...so im curious.

doubt it.

does anyone have the specs on a 98 passat 1.8T Auto??

Weight?
Hp?
1/4 mile time?

i think he's got you beat

oh my god you don't have a chance. i've driven an audi A4 1.8T, basically same engine, and they don't even compare. i wouldn't waste your money. :tdown:

They got 150hp...but they must be kinda heavy.

I would not put money down on that one !!!!!!

save your money man. see if he'll race for free instead, just to see how our cars compare

they have 155ft lbs of torque, but weigh 3200 lbs:eek:

Thats interesting. Wonder what the 1/4 mile times are??

I may have a chance...

dont try to race a passat yet...at least ait until you get a turbo or nos kit...

The 2001 1.8T auto has 0-60 time of 8.8 seconds!! and they have 170hp!!

I think I might have a better chance now!!

Race without the money first and if you win tell him you wanna race for $$:)

:tdown:

better save your money and the embarassment

the time I have for the manual is high 15s... (15.8ish)

so expect times of around mid to high 16s with the auto? (I usually shave half a second to a second on for automatic counterparts..)

you have a chance if you know how to drive.

I rode in my friends Audi A4 1.8T sedan 5spd and was not empressed at all. I read somewhere that we have the same horsepower to wieght ratio as the A4 but dont hold me to that. But then again you are talking about a VW so i dont know. Race him for the hell of it and dont bet on the race.

1.8T think about :shake: turbo!

oooooooooooo a turbo!!!!!!

it weighs 3200 lbs...its an auto.

he will only race for $$...dammit.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Maybe, depends on how my lotto draw turns out tonite:)

I got a good feeling on this ticket!!!

Do you launch well? Good at shifting? You have a good chance if you drive well

Ya, i can drive pretty good, im confident with that, just dont know if my baby has the balls??[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

the sportshift is a little better than straight auto.

Dude up where we show off our cars has an auto S4, and he smokes the majority of ppl up there. An S2000 is even on his win list (I saw it)

MWAHAHAHAHAH S4 Twin Turbo?? those things are the SH!T!!!

I wouldn't if I were u........unless u put down spikes when u race on his side haha!!

Well AWD kicks ass in a drag race, if we had awd we would have a chance against stuff too.

<< Race without the money first and if you win tell him you wanna race for $$:) >>



I think this is not a good idea. If you race with him without the money he will not give you all what he got. Instead he'll intend to lose on purpose. To get your money. Once you agree that theres a money involve next thing you know he already smoke you and lose 100 bucks
