Got beat by a 04 Jetta 1.8t

[godsmack516]

From a dead stop by 60 he had me by about a car length. We stopped afterwards and all he had done was an intake. Should i have beat him or are these things fast?

they're good for low 15s stock if driven right so yes. Just be thankful he didn't have a chip or else he would have gotten more than a car. [img]smile.gif[/img]

i hate how u can throw a chip in a VW and it does so much :mad:

[Sean37]

yea well the turbo helps just a little bit

I don't know about low 15s.
The audi 1.8T is a 16 second car, which is the same thing as the jetta. I can beat the 1.8Ts all day long.. I think he had more than intake if he beat you by a car.

ummm......no

Go find one that can drive. I've seen SRT-4s run 14.8 before what's your point?

Plz don't turn into another "oooh gotta defend all 4 bangers because I drive one now" person. I do beat the Jettas, I don't see what is hard to believe about that. I didn't say I beat SRT-4s because I can't, so there is no need for you to get defensive.
I've beaten more than one 1.8 and I know for a fact one was auto so either they're retarded and can't mash the gas down or they're SLOW! If my car can beat it, they're slow [img]tongue.gif[/img] Because mine is slow too.

If your going to tell someone to quit defending 4 bangers, you quit defending 6 bangers. Fair enough? Alot of people seem to have a hard time when hearing a 6cyl Camaro gets beat and in this topic, you seem to be one. Depending on the year of the Jetta, the story is quite believable.

1.8s come down to:

Transmission, AWD or FWD, and vehicle model.

A LOT of Audis use the automatic tranny with the electronic shift option and they are slow as PISS. Also, a LOT of audis are AWD, making them even SLOWER because of their weight. And on top of that, Audis are heavier than their VW brothers and sisters because they are a wwhhhoollleee lot more luxurious ....

VWs, most are manual transmissions...Most weigh less than Audis...and almost all are FWD, cutting down on even MORE weight. Low 15s? EASILLY obtainable in a 1.8T car...

95Bat...you might wanna read what Solar was saying.

I had a 3.8 that ran low 15s and I wasn't "waxing" 1.8Ts with it. I would beat one or two stock ones here and there but it sure as hell wasn't by much. Plus you have a 3.4L makes it even harder to believe. I'm sorry if ya don't like it.

As for defending my car...I'm not defending I'm stating facts. Would it make you feel better if I told you an LS1 would murder me on topend. There I said it...happy? [img]smile.gif[/img]

yall fight about some stupid ****

[95Batmobile]

Solar - I don't know where you get the impression that I think our cars are fast and can't be beaten or something, incase you didn't read my whole post:
"Because mine is slow too."
I said that. Soooo... yeah.
And 04SRT I didn't say I "wax" them. I said I beat them all day long. Thx for taking what I said way out of context to make your argument against me sound better [img]smile.gif[/img]
BTW, on my g-tech I trapped 89+ mph multiple times... take it for whats its worth [img]smile.gif[/img]

[04SRT-4]

...and you should know that G-tech's MPH are way high. I trapped 94 on my g-tech on my V6...look at me real world MPH. You're around 84 through the traps, as expected. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Camarorulz]

You might have had something resembling a good point until you mentioned your G-tech trap speed...... [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img] ;)

That's why I said that [img]smile.gif[/img]
Doesn't change the fact the fact that I can beat the 1.8ts [img]smile.gif[/img]
