Hmmm... I am very tempted to raise the B.S. flag on that "8 car lengths" statement. A Jetta GTI, or a Jetta VR6 .. hmm, what year would you say this was, recent model, or say, early 90's. Are you sure you weren't running a Golf GTI?

I don't think IndyJerks knows what a VR6 is capable of. Perhaps the VR6 wasn't even trying to race because you won't beat it by 8 car lengths from stop to top speed, heck he might beat you in the high end.
Boy, some of you TLS guys will post anything.

maybe the man made a mistake in looking back at the rear view mirorr... its hard to judge car lengths while ur going fast and especially after winning a race and pumped up...
it prolly was only a few car lengths...

I don't think he was even racing you. You had a full car and you beat him by 8 cars? Did he/she have a full car also? I know the TL-S is quick but my girl has a Jetta VR6 and that baby is quick. Unless you're running some mods and a lil NOS...

AC, my friend, the flag is officially raised.
There is no such vehicle as the Jetta VR6 GTI .. there is the Jetta VR6, the Golf GTI VR6 .. stick and auto in all varieties...
Hehe, it's all in good fun, a kill is a kill.. I guess.
Say, that means I WASTED that Camero SS today .. or was he trying to race?? He did turn right a few seconds after I peeled out .. yeah, it's a kill!!!

I raced a Jetta of some type (it had been debadged) on the interstate and he pretty much hung right with me from 60 on up to as fast as I wanted to go. Definitely a fast car. I was very surprised and somewhat dissappointed in my TLS. I expected to just blow it away.

My dealer gave a CLS yesterday since my AC broke in my 2000TL. I've driven this car for about 20 miles so far and I have to say that the car is pretty powerful but certainly not a "rocket" as some here claim.
Enjoy the ride!
