Good run with a new passat

On my way home from work today I had a great race with a new passat (I have a 3.0). Im not positive, but I believe they have 225hp. Anyhow, I was accelerating out of a 35mph zone into a 45mph zone, which I did rather quickly. I look in my rearview and see this vw up my ass. So I keep going and acclerate up to about 80 and he is hanging right with me. I jump on it and I catch him off guard. So I slow down a little bit and he catches up. I slow down to about 50 and make sure we arr both ready and then I take off. My <A TITLE="Click for more information about car" STYLE="background-color: #f0f000; " HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">car</A> downshifts great at this speed so I had a good start. I dropped the tranny into D3 so it didnt shift and then put it into D4 at about 115mph. When I let off at 120 I had probably put about 8-10 car lengths on him. This was the first time Ive got in a race since Ive put my stone headers on, and it was a rush. Overall the passat hung pretty well, but it was no match for the almighty 3.0 CL

If it was a 1.8T Passat, they have 170 HP... The V6 has 190 I believe.... Not to mention they weigh in at about 3600 pds....

Yes, but the 1.8T Passats and Audis can get a chip upgrade adding about 40hp. Good kill. Be careful out there.

I was at a gas station today and the guy pulled in a say whats up. The car was actually a jetta vr6 w/ an intake. The car looked larger when it turned off about 100 yards behind me, thats why I thought it was a passat.
