2.2 vs 1.8t Gti

Well I'm on my home from work yesterday and there was a Gti hooked up about 5 cars ahead of me holding up the fast lane. The slow lane opened up and I flew past the Gti , well I guess he didnt like it and proceeded to get on my ass. I held 3rd gear as long as I could to 6500 rpm and dropped it into 4th at 105 and the Gti still on my ass we get up to 120 and he passes me and throws on his hazards. Then the guy slows down and gives me a smart ass remark" What happened your Acura is slow" I told him asshole first of all my car weighs 4000lbs and yours 1800 and second of all I heard your turbo so I know you changed it, so you do the math I gave him the finger and bounced.

its reasonable. in cl-s the gearing is set up so that 3rd gear redline is at around 110. and im talking about the 5 spd auto.
