[macavely]

well after heading home from chillen with friends... i'm driving home on 1&9 ... when at the last light befor the airport .... this VW GTI gets right next to me.. i take off and leave the GTI behind dowing about 90 at this time... when all of a sudden it passe by like i'm parked.... so i down shift to speed up then shift back up and i'm doing 120 now and the GTI's tail lights are going.... WOW that thing was fast....they whole rest of the was i was flooring it seeing if it slowed down and i could get another look that beautiful machine ... but nothing....

[Digndoug]

i was with my buddie that raced one in his del-sol b16. It spanked the **** out of us. It was def turbo, but man it was like hello where the f did he just go?.. there great plateforms or some speed

[SkaBass1]

thats really riskey, NJ cops are nuts.

[Batman722]

Kinda crazy driving so fast. GTIs are fast - either the 1.8T or the VR6 - both wicked fast. Are you sure it was a GTI or was it a Golf ?

[prpnum1]

yeah iwe have one in my in my car crew. its the turbo one and his brother has the v6 they are about the same. the turbo is just a little faster. that thing smoked me nasty. My other friends si is just about as fast though. sometimes one wins and sometimes the other wins.

Erm. The 1.8T is quick ish. The VR6 gets about 200bhp.

Both are fodder.

If that's 'wicked fast' you need to get your ass down to a racetrack sometime.

[rjbibeau]

my friend had a gti it was pretty quick and i kept up to it until he got the revo chip and was boostn like 20 some pounds of boost then he pretty much dusted me. so funny his boost gauge only went up to 20 and it was awesome seeing he thing gets burried

[Rjb23]

My friend wants a gti. They are no joke. The r32 is 6 cyl turbo awd about 250 hp stock, the r34 is the 1.8 turbo, also quick about 180 hp stock. The vr6 has 200 hp stock, and is turbo'd. Not to mention they are small and pretty light.

R32 awd is NA not Turbo

[shin]

yea. R32 uses the VR6 engine but R32 tuned if i've got the info correctly. but either way, 1.8T, VR6, R32, or R34, they are some mean rides.... really fast. even the jetta are fast too.

The r32 is 240 hp, the vr6 is 200hp 2.8 the r32 is 3.2.

[macavely]

all i know now is... i really missing my audi... and will be looking into VW/Audi again ... don't worry they celi isn't going anywhere ...

[pistatio56]

and also the vr6/r32 has a very good twin turbo kit available

[boosted_K2]

they're quick, my buddy up at school has the 20th anniversary Rabbit edition, its pretty quick... and a girl at my school has a R32... its not too bad either. i can beat the GTi no problem... the girl with the R32 didnt go to the drag day so i never raced her in the 1/4, but i did beat her at the autoxs, shes pretty good too... runs SCCA in the womens division.

[pr_caralho]

Kinda reminds me wen I tried to race a mercedes sl500
that was funny though, he at least took me by at least the length of 30 cars.

lol stop lying... it was more like 80 cars lengths ... lol

[Rjb23]

Me and a buddy were watching a video of a GTI 1.8t that had 375 fwhp and it was really quick. About the only thing it didnt beat from a 10 sec supra.

[boosted_K2]

they are allowed to compete in either, but they do have that sanction for certain classes. i dont know why either... IMO a driver is a driver...

What?

R32 is a 3.2 litre NA V6. About 240bhp and has the VAG 4-Motion drivetrain. It's a nice car, but god is it heavy.

The R34 doesn't exist as far as I know.

The GTi is either a 150bhp or a 180bhp version of the 1.8 that VAG use in everything, and is FWD.

VR6 is about 190-200bhp, and is normally aspirated.

The one to look for is the 150bhp TDi GTi. 290lb/ft of torque make it very useful indeed.

All of the turbo models respond well to chipping.

Will the '4' do some serious damage to VW's...?
[right][snapback]245927[/snapback][/right]

All of them are targets, and only the R32 or a well driven VR6 prove a problem in stock form.

Modified, anything goes.

The 1.8t is 180 bhp that is straigt from vw's sight. The r-32 is 240 bhp and is 3.2 liter enginge the vr6 is 200 bhp and is a 2.8 or so liter engine. The r-34 I meant the 1.8t.
