My friend has a Jetta GLI here are his specs

Horsepower : 180 hp @ 5500 rpm
Torque : 173 lb-ft @ 1950 rpm
Redline : 6700 rpm
Top speed : 145 mph
0-60 mph : 6.9 sec.(manual), 7.5 sec.(auto)
0-¼ mile : 15.7 sec @ 89.0 mph(manual)
60-0 braking distance : 130 ft.
200 ft skidpad : 0.79 g

Those are really close to our V6's, so the winner was determined by the launch generally. I launched really good twice, and once I was ahead it basically remained that way.
I chirped 2nd good, and did a baby squak to 3rd.
The time I lost, I did a horrible launch. Basically I launched right from idle, so it felt like it was about to bog. It seems launching at around 2kish is the sweet spot.

He has 10k miles on his, and I only have 630 on mine, so i'll race him again to see if theres any difference.

 

The only vw i raced so far was a new generation jetta turbo (had a loud BOV but doubt anything else was done) and i beat it from a stop and a roll.

 

Guess what I just realized, not sure if it would've made things more clear (including tastier chirps), I had my AC on at level 2.
I know it'll affect performance, but is it enough to make me look better against him?
I'm gonna see if I can run him again.

 

nice job. i think the a/c stinks something like 2-5horsepower, but I am probably mistaken.

 

2006 VW is upping the hp to 200... better get those mods on!

 

I have a 2004.5 GLi and the V6 Mustang in the garage

Does your friend have the 6 speed or is his a Tiptronic?

 

AC disengages at WOT, been that way since '86 I believe on all Mustangs.

 

Just because I like to post pictures, here are my two cars

[attachmentid=24187][attachmentid=24188]

 

hah, that's awesome. His is the same color too, and yea he has the 6 speed.

 

Not trying to jack your thread, but dont feel like making a new one just for this..

Not many people in town will play with me now that I have my mustang... and Ive had it since back in early December. I -finally- had someone rev their engine at me last night! I was doing 60 though a clip of road, where its 55 mph, headed into town around 2 am. (I was hungry going to McDonalds!) I had passed this guy in a BMW 325i, as he was doing around 55ish in the fast lane, and as soon as I was a car length ahead of him he came flying by and braked several car lengths ahead of me. Im on my last leg with the cops, and this is a highly watched strech of road, so I didnt even respond. When we got to the first light in town I glanced over at him, revved the engine a little, and as soon the light turned green slipped the clutch just beautifully so that I only squeaked the tires a little around 6K when I shifted, and left him eating dust. I took him two more times before I made it to McDonalds where I gave him a wave and turned off... we never took it above 60 in a 45 mph zone, but Im sure it wouldnt have made a difference. By then I was already two good lengths ahead of him anyway.

Hah! I finally have a story to tell!

 

Good kill. My best bmw kill is a 330 so far, but it was a pretty close race. Lost badly to a 760 (with his wife and 2 kids in the car to boot)

 

Awesome Bimmer kill.
lol about the 760 one

I also killed a 3000GT, but even my friends Jetta beat it so if you see an NA one it isnt a big threat.

 

Awesome Manny!
Sorry for the late response, but it's good to hear that you kicked your friend's **** :P

 

haha, thanks man, I just couldnt hold out to my mileage goal of 1k. Maybe I can get a few mods till next time, and claim it's still stock, only really well broken in

 

1K shoot... Break that pony in!!!

 

Hey Manny, how are you chirping 3rd in your V6. I can't even chirp 3rd in my GT.

 

My v6 chirps 3rd, i have a video of me at the drags doin it.

 

Possibly the open differential in the v6 vs. the limited slip in the GT?

 

I don't know, it could be that the GT has better hookup, and like stated the limited slip might have something to do with it. I bet it will be tougher, although equate to more speed on the ground, once a t-lok is installed on a 6
