I would think the CL-P would beat the 1.8L jetta. As I recall, CL-P does 0-60 in about 7 - 7.4 sec. Doesnt the 1.8L jetta does it in 7.8-9 sec?

The Jetta would win if it's the turbo one.

my buddy has a 2001 1.8T A4 and my CL spanks it all the time...I have exhaust and intake...but also about 500 lbs worth of junk in the trunk.

0-60 Times
Jetta 1.8T = 7.7 (M), 8.9 (A)
Jetta VR6 (2.8L) = 7.8 (M)
3.0CL = 7.6 (A)
3.2CL = 7.2 (A)
3.2CL-S = 5.9 (M), 6.7 (A)

Really, none of the Jettas should beat any CL. They could keep up if the drivers of the manual Jettas are as good as the test track drivers.

Well, I'm pretty new at this, but maybe it's the Custom Mesh Grill or the Autovation Racing Pedals... ??? I know for a fact that a cool sticker (ie, a VTech sticker on a Civic DX) adds at LEAST 15-20 HP (depends on the wind direction)...

the CL should beat the jetta. I think a modded CL is about equal to a stock CLS. I'm not so sure it would beat it though.

stock for stock it would be close if the jetta is a stick with a good driver. They run low to mid 15's stock. With a chip they can run mid 14's. A lot more depends on the driver in the jetta of course.

I can believe that. Here's another for you:

3.0CL + Headers + CAI + Exhaust + Ignition = CLS

Same WHP. Dynos are on Comptechs site.

Believe it. My 99 Tl with Injen intake, obx headers, full cat back magnaflow exhaust, iridium ik20's, UR Crank Pulley dusts stock type s' all day. ASk Rondog, he has witnessed me destroy many a stock type s. I even hang with his modded S for a lil before he pulls. Off the line its close, until i hit second in vtec then i take off like a bat outta hell. Off a roll i can woop on a stock S rather easily. Especially passed 100 i even give modded s's a run because i can hold 3rd till aboput 125

Because i had the car years before the type s came out

If i was buying in 2002 i would have obviously purchased a new type s. There were TL's between 99 and 01 that werent type s'.

hummm NO
It won’t be CL-S it will be………….. 3.0CL + Headers + CAI + Exhaust + Ignition

You are forgetting that CL-S engine...has different compression ratio compare to CL-P
Otherwise engine sizes are the same 3.2 VS 3.2(that’s a no-brainer)

Ummm...NO!

I'm talking about my 98 3.0CL w/ J30A2. I know the engine sizes and compression ratios, I was just agreeing with the other poster that with just a few mods, the 3.2CL can be as fast as the CL-S.

I know my displacements damnit! :P

Hmm. Your aren't a very smart fella are you?

First, you completely misread my post and call me out on it. I correct you, and now you further insult me. If you would take 30 seconds out of your meaningless life to zip over to Comptechs website, you could see for yourself the dyno results. A J30 3.0CL with the mods I listed above will make approx. the same HP to the wheels as a stock J32 CL-S. In addition to that, a 3.0CL is 300lbs lighter than a CL-S, which amounts to an additional 30hp difference between the two cars. I apologize for not being able to afford your wonderful Type-S car - but you sir, are an asshole. Read the facts before your speak, or one day it will get your in trouble.

I wonder how you got so many posts in 2 months on this site….probably from posts like this.
That make me wonder who has “meaningless life” to sit here and post till you turn green and go bananas flipping out on people… Eat a chill pill buddy.

PS: apology accepted.

Fuck you man. I work in the IT dept at my university during the week, so I have plenty of time to cruise my fav sites. You wanna know what topics I post on? Do a search, if you can spare the time in your busy schedule.

Take your apology and shove it up your ass. Then reread all my posts so you will understand when a 98 CL whips your ass.

I didn't mean to misbehave, just dood should have realized his mistake and owned up to it instead of calling me out.

Read my post w/ the 0-60 times. Even my 3.0CL is faster (almost even tho) 0-60 than either of the manual Jettas. A 3.2 should hand one it's ass. I'm talking stock for stock here...any mods would have to be addressed seperatly.
