So, I rarely "street race" and when I do it's for a little fun. So today, this GTI that I see driving around my area all the time stops at a light on a main road and I pull up next to him.

I don't have anything planned, but we pull through the green light and I go to pass some one very gently and he takes off. At the next light we catch, we both step on it. I go up till about 65mph and then cut it off. He pulls an easy three cars on me. That's not why I'm mad though.

I end up following him half of my drive home. When he finally goes to turn, I'm giving him a nice and he leans towards his passenger side window that is down and begins to scream "FAG, FAGGOT" repeatedly. My blood begins to boil. I'm so heated by the time I get home I'd really like to put a bat in my trunk and go destroy his car.

Sorry guys, just had to vent.

Were you trying hard or was his car modded? With your mods if he was stock you should have beaten him. Anyway sounds like he was a piece of shit. I would have screamed back at his ass and told him to pull over if he had a problem, but that's just me. I have zero patience for jackass's like that.

He pulled away pretty hard. Either I don't know how to drive, or he has a turbo? I don't either. My goal is to find this jerk off and give him a piece of my mind...

MurkyRiversTL

gti definitely has a turbo. Those things are pretty quick. Oh and dont worry, he'll get whats comin to him.

Assuming the GTi you raced is the newer model, i think stock, with its dsg gearbox, the gti is as fast as TL-P, if not faster. And the 2.0T engine can be chipped and gain like 40hp easily. and then if he has some basic bolt-ons, he would definitely beat you. But wussup with that retard's attitude??

Even though their stock turbos are the size of yo-yo's, those 1.8T's can easily be made VERY quick. Just a chip can add 30+hp and 50+ lb/ft of tq. Add to that a larger front mount, intake, exhaust, light weight clutch, etc. and it'll fly. A big a$$ TL doesn't really stand a chance.
Do you know which model you raced? There are a lot of different possibilties all with different engine sizes. I bet you ran into a 1.8T. The 2.0T's w/ the ugly body shape are the most recent MK5's (2006+). But w/e, that dude had a serious attitude. Not surprising at all though. 90% of VW owners HATE Honda's with a passion. They will bash them any chance they get. This mostly stems from the ricer Civics I suppose. Take a venture over to VWVortex...

The MK4 GTI (the 1.8T models) are slower than a TL-p in the stock form. But the MK5 GTI's really move. My friends stock 2007 GTI 2.0T keeps up with my friends chipped and modded 2002 GTI 1.8T.

Jayun knows whats up, my car was posted over at vortex. Some people were very ignorant and said "that picture would be so better without that ugly honda," while some appreciated a different car.

I think I'll take a look at those boards. I appreciate you guys bringing that in to the light for me. Now that all has been said, do you think a pulley after I get it on will make enough of a difference?

Don't get me wrong, I didn't say all of them... Just a lot.

You really can't judge how fast a car is just by appearance.

This looks pretty simple and subtle.

300+whp 300wtq (AWD r32 stage 1 turbo)

Unfortunately, the TL is NOT a car for those that want relatively easy speed/power. Sure, you can make it decent and fun enough. But it's not going to be the ultimate street sleeper machine or w/e you want. (Unless you're willing to spend thousands on every bolt on possible, rebuild the engine, s/c, ago turbo w/ a built engine. With that money and the worth of the car, you can buy a whole different car)

And I wouldn't go trying to pick a fight just because some loser called you a fag while he was driving in the ultimate chick car... Be the bigger man and don't stoop to his level.

haha, i'm the same way. but as always its better not to stoop to his level, if you can help it, if you can't ...

dont feel bad u'll always run into jackasses like that. a camaro driver gave me the thumbs down last night, sad part is i would have stayed with him in a race anyday of the week. no one takes our cars seriously.

ive had mixed expiriences with GTis, ive beaten the modded regulars and anniversary editions with no issues. only lost to one GTi so far and he was modded and i only had an intake. never had the oppertunity to go up against an R32 yet.

iforyou

iTrader: (1)

this might be sort of off topic, but not just GTi's can be pretty fast, but be sure to watch out for some civics too. I've seen too many D16A + TD05 turbo civics making more than 400whp, yes wheel horsepower. Basically, just watch out for those little hatchbacks.

lostkhan

just image how he would have acted if you have beated him. (Damn my Grammer is poor ) . ANyways, those things are quick man. I just posted a Race here couple of days before with one of the 2005 type model. That ass told me its stock while i hear this fuckin loud ass sound from his car and i see NO fart can.

Silly little chick cars....

Their mufflers are tucked behind the bumper w/ just a little curved pipe barely visible. I kinda like that. Then again, if I spend $600+ on exhaust, I want to hear it as well as see part of it, lol.

yeahhh those are quick..but what he did was totally unnecessary..i mean come on..the guy was driving the biggest chick car you can get.

iTrader: (2)

hmm, what a jackass he was.. anyways.. i've ran my TL stock with a modded GTi, chipped and still beat him by car lengths... and so far, have not lost to any GTi's...

But you have a 3rd Gen

JOES05tl

My take on the fsi 2.0 (mkv gli,mkv gti,a4 and a couple other cars) is that they are really good for the low end, but they crap out on the top end. The stock turbo is very small (t03, i think), but it hits hard from 1700 rpms. It craps out early, though. The DSG tranny is really good, too. I have a friend with a 2006 gli. Same engine as gti for those that didnt know. Stock, it was a good peppy car, but got smoked by me (3rd gen 6sp) every scenario. Now its got neuspeed everything(chip,intake,exhaust,pulley,diverter valve mod?) I know cuz' i helped him install everything except the reflash), and in current form it beats my car out of the hole every time. It gains about 2 cars on me from the start. Even w/ a neck-to-neck start, when i shift 1-2, it jumps 2 cars on me. QM might even be close, cuz' its not till about 80-90 that I pass. Anything after that speed, time and time again, his car falls off. By 110, he's 3-5 cars behind, and by 140 he's 5-10 cars behind. He always jokes w/ me though, saying "I aint ever heard of the 'more than a quarter-mile' race". Thats why if we race, I make him follow me on to the freeway!

JOES05tl

WHOA! didnt realize i wrote a whole book-

iforyou

iTrader: (1)

that's some very nice info! And I think what you said was right, as proven by its max torque is usually produced from ~1700rpm all the way to 5000rpm, but after that, the torque curve trails off. And also they are relatively light, and that would help them accelerate faster, but like you said, their lack of top end power means the TL will eventually pass it, assuming the GTi is not too heavily tuned.

fant0m_TL

i have bad road rage... so i would have tossed a grenade through his window. I keep those in my glove box from time to time for instances just like this.

okay, so the above was a lie... but ive been known to get out of the car at stoplights to see how "tough" the idiot in the other car really is... i know its childish, and say what you want, but theres no better feeling that knowing you are walking back to your car as the other guy is flooring it out of there

Yeah. I too have bad road rage, but only in my car. I don't think I'd ever act on it. But, after what that guy did, I wanted to.

fant0m_TL

LOL

MightySemen

Dude was Harsh you shoulda sideswipped his ass ... or you should slammed brakes on him n make him hit your rear!! Insurance Claim ... and that way he thinks twice about bein a homo on the road. Whats the point of adding insult onto injury? Maybe he had a small penis... LMAO

fant0m_TL

6spMike

fant0m_TL

MightySemen

Meh... I was only playing about cut off brake maneuver. But dude really was an ass for talkin shyt after winning... Horrible Sportmans like Conduct. Even I wouldnt do some cruddy shyt like that!!!

Eoanou

aznsy

i concur with mightysemen, i think he had a small penis because why else would you go out of your way to make someone else's day bad? wheres the sportsmanship these days? scratch that, a half sense of decency?

DIRTYJOHN

maybe something happen to his POS car and he blame it on you for racing him.. You never know.. hahahaha

Syed

if i was living in the states i would have like crazy mods and especially nos. almost everything is lillegal in canada. anyways if i were you i would get nos and get some lessons from dirtyjohn.

DIRTYJOHN

For some reason ppl who never used Nitrous b4 always say Nitrous is bad for cars. I dont see how nitrous can be that bad. ITs how u use it and how u take care of it. I've been using Nitrous on almost all my cars and so far the way i do my setup everyone LOVES it. My next TL im getting which is soonnn I am going to do a 2 step nitrous. 100 and 125 shot. I am gonna post up vid of how to install it and how to customize a quick nitrous release valve just like BOV so that the motor wont detonate.. when u are spraying to much the release valve will let out all the excessive nitrous just so u wont take in to much nitrous..

o and SYED ___ u should move into the states.. ITLL BE FUNNN
