I was driving home last night on I-5 at 3:00 am and came up on 2 VWs, one Jetta and one GTI. The Jetta had a license plate that said VTEC THS (thought that was funny). As I was passing them they sped up and started to pace me. The Jetta was the first to punch it, then I did, then the GTI. I was pulling away from the Jetta, but the GTI was pulling away from me (I figured he would, 2900 lbs vs. 3200 lbs and he has more hp than me :frown: ). I don't know what engine the GTI had in it, but it was either the VR6 or 1.8T, sadly enought I never got close enough to him to see. We raced a few more times, and the results were the same; The GTI kicked my ***, and I kicked the Jetta's ***. Oh well, at least I beat someone too. :smilewinkgrin:

You must have jynxed yourself on that WRX post..j/k
:smilewinkgrin:
My friend has a 98 GTI, it is a pretty quick little car. The first time I drove it I was rapping out the RPM's when a limiter kicked in and cut power to the engine. Scared the **** out of me. I believe his has the stock 4 banger. The guy you raced must of had some mods, because you could pull on the stock 4. 544:smilewinkgrin:

I knew the GTI would kill me. I've raced the 1.8T Golf (4 door GTI) and beat them. I think I might go out and buy a 50 or 75 shot NOS systen for my car. I would have beat him then. Then I can be fast when I want to, and even better, I can look as cool as the people in Fast and the Furious! :newlaugh: When I bought the DVD it came with a coupon for $50 off a NOS system. Would I want a dry or a wet set up?

Hell yeah!!! Then I can truly be as cool as them!
****, I'd mount my NOS botton out of sight, so not even my passenger would know. :smilewinkgrin: Oh, plus cops don't like cars being driven on the street with NOS. Big red buttons on the steering wheel might give that away. :tounge:

I guess you will just have to set it up so NOS activates at WOT. MY brother in law had what I think was a 98 firebird or something with nos. I believe it was wired to open up at WOT, but I am not sure. Man, I bought a six pack of winterhook tonight, and the last one is an IPA!! I have to be more careful.
