Those new GTIs are fast and with a chip & air filter, it could get around 200hp (@ the wheel)!
GTI VR6
Well, today I finally raced my friend's VR6:
stock numbers:
Horsepower: 172hp @ 5800 rpm
Torque: 173ft-lbs. @ 4200 rpm
Weight: 2811 lbs.
It has cat-back exhaust, intake, cams, upgraded clutch, and some other engine work...so i thought i was going to get blown away (especially considering the nearly 400lb difference in weight). I was sitting at the light, and he rolled up next to me, and before he came to a complete stop the light turned green, and we went, we were about even for the entire race, but at the end i had to let him get over b/c his lane came to an end. Would have liked to race a bit longer, cus i was pulling on him near the end. O well, not really a kill, but im not too upset w/the results from my pig of a car.
peace
