I was out test driving cars again the other day and I ran into a 1.8 turbo Gti. I like this car a lot. Very simple but nice styling. And it was pretty fast too. Come with 180hp. I figure 300hp wouldn't be to hard to get. I was just wondering what people have heard about this car. And does anyone know if the 2.8vr6 is a better option? I'm liking the lightweight 1.8 turbo. Just curious.

buddy unless you have a gt4 you cant take a 1.8t.

both my friends have gtis, a 2k4 VR6 and a 2k3 1.8t. From a stop the vr6 wins by a good amount, from a roll at 30 the vr6 wins by a tirelength due to lack of power in 3rd gear.

they both have mods but either way they are alot faster then any celi that doesnt have a swap/turbo or a 3s.

the celi in noway throws you back in its seat like a vr6 does.



Well if you paid attention to my signature before starting your post wink.gif
Looked at the stats and my car is exactly the same as the 1.8T so its not faster, stock anyway:)
